So we are almost done with the school year and I never did a post about Daisy Scouts. Oops. Since Hannah didn't do soccer in the fall we were looking for an extra-curricular. Daisy Scouts seemed like a good option. And instead of taking up every Saturday morning for six weeks like soccer, it met just once a month after school. :) Plus most of the girls in her class were joining the troop. It was an easy decision.
Hannah has loved everything about it: hanging out with friends after school, eating snacks, doing crafts, earning badges, and selling cookies. We only sold to family, but she did it all herself: asking for the sale, sorting boxes, adding up the cost and making change. It was a great learning experience. The other big thing she did in scouts was the international fair. The girls picked a country and made a trinket to represent that country. Then they got together with a bunch of other troops and bought each other's trinkets. When we walked into the gym and saw all the booths set up Hannah said, "Wow! This is going to be so fun!" I like looking at the world through her eyes. Spending the morning in a school gym selling bookmarks and buying bracelets/magnets/flowers seems like the coolest thing in the world when you are six.
