From One Scout Parent to Another

Hi moms and dads of Troop 41366. It's been a while hasn't it? Hard to believe that another school year is already upon us and even harder to believe its online. I don't know about you, but my girl is desperate for some connection with her Scouting Sisters.  I've been debating for a while now if I can pull this off as a Troop Leader, if we can pull it off as a Troop. And I've come to one conclusion...
​
Heck yeah! We're Girl Scouts after all. We can do anything we put our minds to.
You may be asking yourself, 'why would I do this? why would I add one more thing to my already insane to-do list?' Well, I'll tell you why. Because Girl Scouts has been and always will be a safe haven for our girls. If you think COVID19 is bad, just wait for next year, a.k.a. Middle School!!! Our girls need a safe space where they can feel free to completely let go and be themselves. Free of the judgement of teachers (and yes parents too!). Free from the pressure to be cool, to dress right, to excel at everything. Free to express themselves through art, adventure, and play. As our elementary years are drawing to an end, now more than ever, our girls need Scouts.

​So I invite you to join me in this unchartered territory of online Scouting. I commit to you to provide content on this website that will be compelling to your girls. I commit to providing leadership opportunities that they won't find in other venues. And I commit to maintaining my unabashed joy for being your girl's zany Troop Leader. Looking forward to charting a new course for our troop and seeing all the girls again soon!
