Now that Juliette is a kindergartener she has the opportunity to participate in school-related activities and scouts is something she has wanted to do for a long, long time. My husband used to teach boy scouts at our church and one day after church Juliette and I attended one of their Court of Honor award ceremonies. Juliette was amazed by their uniforms and colorful patches and immediately announced that she was going to be a boy scout too. Unfortunately, girls can't be boy scouts and that was heartbreaking news for her.
During Welcome Back Night at Juliette's school she tried a second time to join the boy scouts. There was an information table with two young boy scouts handing out leaf-lets and as hard as she tried to talk them into letting her join, it turned out to be another disappointment. In the mean time I had investigated the girl scouts program. The closest located was more than 45 minutes from us.
Then one day a white piece of paper posted outside of the kindergarten classroom caught my attention. It announced that a brandnew girl scout daisy troop had just been established and they needed new members to join! So here she is, officially a girl scout!
