New Rules for Brownie Troop

Our brownie troop is full of some very social girls. Our meetings seemed to be filled with myself and Christine constantly asking the girls to be quiet, listen or pay attention. I was beginning to question myself as to why I was still leading the troop, as I was no longer enjoying it […]

Pile of Patches

Time always gets away from me. I’m not sure how the “super moms” do it all. I’m just trying to keep up these days….and this is what I get for not sewing these on as Madison earned her patches. A stack of 12 fun patches to sew on the back of her […]

Sit Upons are a Girl Scout tradition. They’re typically made out of a plastic table cloth, but one of my friends found this site, Making Friends, that has instructions to make a denim sit upon. Now that’s more my style! We cheated and used duct tape instead of sewing! They’ve held […]

It’s A Girl Thing

My DD is going into her 3rd year as a brownie. I’m her troop leader and try to lead the girls in a direction of creativity and fun. I certainly don’t want their memories as a girl scout to be boring. We made super cute sit-upons that are a bit more modern […]
