April 30 April 16 and 23 Meetings + Lodge CampingWinding down to my final days as leader of this wonderful group of kids, I find myself paying more attention to them and less to this experiment in sharing in cyberspace. For those that are actually watching, I apologize ... but in reality, this will be one of the last two entries on this blog. I will make a summary after we have finished up to end this fantastic journey.
The past two meetings have been a preparation for our little camping trip this past weekend. April 16 saw the grocery list, activity list, and agenda buttoned down. April 23 was a fun pinata-making party (after which I am STILL cleaning up!) The girls have matured well into capable young women that I'm happy to have known. They handled the planning well, though the execution still needs a little work. They'll do just fine without me.
Three of our remaining 5 members went to the lodge for two nights (along with three leaders). Chores were handled beautifully. The girls took on tasks that they wanted and accomplished them with grace. I'm very proud. It seems that even though we arrived with more craft projects than anybody needs for one weekend, interest in them wasn't really there. Sleeping bag races and charades provided the most entertainment, reminding us that sometimes you just need to kick back and act silly to have a great time.
EVERYONE is glad that they won't ever have to endure my snoring again!
Tonight we'll meet to discuss the weekend, reimburse for expenses, finish up paperwork, and close out the year. We may plan one more fun activity just to include the whole troop, then we're done.
To Mrs. M and Mrs. H ... I wish you as much joy as I have had watching these girls become the dynamic individuals that they are. Here's to a stellar final year of scouting to all the other daughters not of my blood, but of my heart. I love you all.
Until next,
