My Daisy

Lauren has signed up to be in Girl Scouts. Ever since I brought her along to my volunteer event at work helping 60 middle school girl scouts create mechanical hands, Lauren has been talking about being a girl scout. Last night was the official rally for our area, and it was there where new troops would form, or where new girls would enter into an established troop, if space allowed. I was hoping for the latter, as we've already had to initiate a brand new elementary school, and I just wanted one thing to be more well oiled than squeaky clean brand new. We ended up in a hybrid - new troop but with a lot of moms who have been through this before or have close friends who are in the higher rankings within the Central Texas Girl Scouts, so I couldn't be more thrilled. The troop leader is a go-getter with no frills and very inclusive - I like her a lot already. I can't wait to buy Lauren the outfit - I wish the Daisy uniform had the cute little berets. The troop already decided to go with the traditional vest versus the newer smocks. I couldn't be happier!
