Avery's a Daisy

I can remember being a "Brownie" in second grade. We'd make cool treats, take little field trips and do neat crafts. I never did make it past the Brownie stage.....

They now have a step below Brownie....girls in Kindergarten and First Grade are Daisies. One of Avery's good friends invited her to join a troop. It's a really nice group of girls (most of whom went to preschool with Avery) and she was pretty excited about the whole thing. (Can you tell?) She had to put her "uniform" on as soon as we finished ironing on the patches!



We've had one troop meeting.....they traced each other's body, sang the Daisy "Fight Song" (guess it's not REALLY called the fight song :) ), and giggled and giggled and giggled! :) Her troop leaders have a LOT of patience to be working with 8, 5-year old girls! This is Mrs. Bergman (Alice's mom). It's ALWAYS been her dream to be a Girl Scout Troop Leader. Bless her.


And these are the Daisies.....


They even did their first event together as a troop. There was a night hike around one of our local lakes, Lake Padden. Mark and I were out of town (in Las Vegas...another story ;) ) so Auntie Lori was here to take Avery. Sounds like they had a blast. They would hike a little ways and then do some sort of group activity. Tug O'War seemed to be a highlight!! :)

They also got to use their flashlights and glow sticks. Thanks for taking Avery to her first Troop event Auntie Lori! :)
