Girl scouting is a great activity and resource. Although time consuming, the we have had a lot of fun and learning. There are many local troops to join or you could qualify to host your own. Memberships average about $20 in start up fees and only $2-$5 a month.
Troop meets are jam packed with activities and have occasional field trips. Your children have the opportunity to meet new friends and socialally bond with other children. Scouting and not only provides support for parents but also helps reinforce every day life lessons and morals.
A message to the parents; “Be social and find out from other parents what is working for them and what is not?” There is a lot of wisdom to be gained from moms and dads at these troop meets.

Well I think I am going to have to drop Girl Scouts for Lilly. It was a tough decision but I think it is best for our family. Her troop is accross town and meetings are at 6pm. The boys are kinda done by then so it’s not fair plus I don’t have anything to do so we sit in the car. Lilly has so many great activities she is involved in, it might be good for all of us. We just added our church play to our agenda so something has to give. It is so hard to give things up but we have to look at the whole. Having a big family does make it difficult to be in two or three places at the same time! Pray for me to stick to my guns and not give in!
