the trials of a leader trying to maintain a successful girl scout troop

the trials of trying to maintain a successful Girl Scout troop

12.02.2010

So late with this!

I have not been posting as much as I should be! I am a bad leader! This year I have 3 troops and most of a full time job. I am also trying out side jobs...(getting my side hustle on), as well as working on my novel. Sounds like a lot, but I can do more! (I know I can!)

For the most up-to-date information; please visit the girls at our facebook page , that's where I put all of my successes. This is where I put all of my hopes and the disappointment when it doesn't work (Moms don't need to see that)

It's been a wild ride so far, I have a co-leader and then I don't, then I find a new one, who always says she can't make it last minute ...but here's hoping we have a working group now. There are a lot of new girls, the troop is on a complete overhaul, but it's great! I love new girls!

I'm currently planning a Scavenger Hunt to Manhattan, the American Museum of Natural History and am trying to get a grasp of exactly how many girls and adults will be going. We have two complete teams arranged so far:

Blue team


Purple team

The only thing is arranging moms to lead the teams, and convincing them to give up their daughters for the afternoon. (At  some point, the girls will want to be without their moms,and this seems like a good opportunity) I myself will not have a group as I made the questions and have been all over the site gathering information :(

The plan is to get the girls to take pictures with certain items in the museum (so each team needs to have a digital camera) and find out information on others. The first team that arrives back with everything complete will win a pack of movie tickets. I'm thinking about offering another group of tickets for best picture because realistically, I want them to go in there and get great pictures...so I bribe them.

Fingers crossed that this goes well
