I'm proud of my daughter!

My daughter is having the time of her life on a Girl Scout trip to London, England! Her troop has been together for 8-9 years, and they have all earned their bronze and silver awards. They have been planning on taking this trip to the Pax Lodge in London for 6 years, and actively earning money for over 2 years. In addition, they bridged to Senior Scouting over the Thames and have made a pact to earn their gold awards, not to quit scouting, and to become lifetime scouts at the end of high school. So there's my little brag.

That so awesome. What a great experience for her. I'd be proud too.

Very Cool!!

You are so right to brag! Awesome!

Fantastic! Congratulations to your daughter.

That is awesome! I have been thinking about becoming a volunteer for the girl scouts around here. I was never involved but it sounds like a great experience!

for you and your daughter!

Wow! How cool!

We don't have "Girl Scouts" here, but I was in "Girl Guides" when I was in grade 6.

I remember begging my Mom to let me join. The uniforms were horridly expensive: sixty dollars back in 1974!! We really didn't have a lot of money but my Mom somehow managed to get me a uniform.

I think I lasted 2 months and then I didn't want to go anymore.

We never went anywhere or did anything. Every meeting was in the school gym where we sat around a plastic log fire singing stupid songs like "I'm a little tea cup" and acting out the words, and "Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly"

We camped in the gym! Actually it wasn't camping per se. We went to the gym and had to set up some pup tents on the gym floor and spent about 1/2 an hour in them before playing with a parachute.

It was the most stupid thing I've ever been part of.

Now I hear of Guides and Scouts going on real camping trips, trips out of the country, going on tours of factories etc. I wish my experience in Guides would have been more positive.

Wow! Good for her!

You have every right to brag!

very very awesome!! it will be an experience she will remember that is for sure

Aww that's excellent!

The weather here is perfect for her as well

That's a great achievement! I hope they really enjoy their trip.

You should be so very proud of her. Thanks for sharing it with us Kim

What a wonderful experience for her! She sounds like an amazing person.

WTG!

I wasn't fond of the "roughing it" part of scouting. Gotta have flush toilets and A/C.
