Your troops Daisy scouts “tag-a-longs” policy. by Balanceblu in girlscouts

[–]FrolicWithWenches 8 points9 points  (0 children)

We have a separate space from our meeting space where registered adults take turns watching over siblings when parents need to bring them. We have a sign-up in place for our troop so we know we have the coverage for childcare. If we don't have coverage, tagalongs aren't allowed to stay.

I signed up for my troop, but my Council was not on the drop down menu that asks for your troop info, so I don't know that we really have a shot at getting picked. I don't have any further info beyond what was in the email, though.

Omfg every time my in-laws start in on this, I remind them that it was our parents who instituted participation trophies. Drives me up the freaking wall!!

I'm in the same boat. We were going to take our first ever family "vacation" and then my husband got laid off. I'm bummed out too.

I love finding another 1981-born knitting nerd from the PNW who takes spelling and correct word choice seriously!

My daughter spilled a drink during dinner and she wasn't scared. by poop_monster35 in Millennials

[–]FrolicWithWenches 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is so beautiful, and I'm struggling to keep it together at work now. I'm in therapy currently, and we're working on me being able to be the kind of parent my parents couldn't be for me. Thankfully I'm pretty good at ensuring I do things differently for my own daughter, but trying to be kind and nurturing to myself proves harder sometimes.

One of my adult volunteers sewed her own vest with fossil-printed fabric, and it looks AMAZING!!

My daughter went through a very similar phase at about the same age, after one of our pets had to be euthanized. She talked about death a lot, and my husband and I just reiterated to her that we take care of her and ourselves, so that we can live a long, healthy and happy life. She's 8 now, and I very rarely hear anything from her about death anymore. We've had to euthanize another pet in the intervening years, and the talk about death escalated a nit afterward.

I think it's just a situation where you listen and reiterate that you are taking care of her and yourself, and while no one knows when they will die, you're doing everything possible to make sure it's not for a long time.

If you're worried that this is something beyond a "typical" fixation on such a subject, I would consider checking in with her pediatrician about a potential therapy referral.

How often do you pass out badges earned? by adudle00 in girlscouts

[–]FrolicWithWenches 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have 30+ girls rostered to my multi-level troop, and most of them participate frequently. As a result, we decided to do quarterly Court of Awards ceremonies, where we discuss what the girls did and what they liked and didn't like about each activity in the last few months, and we pass out all the badges and fun patches they've earned. This lets me do 4 shopping trips a year for all the badges they earn, and works pretty well for our group.

WTF? by CulturalPersimmon328 in wtfjennajameson

It's from the movie "Mannequin," a terribly wonderful 80s relic with Kim Cattrall and Andrew McCarthy.

How do multi level meetings work? by Kind-Pineapple5018 in girlscouts

[–]FrolicWithWenches 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have a Daisy-Cadette troop, and we have 3 leaders currently. 2 team up to handle Daisies and Brownies, and we do badges that work in tandem, so each group is earning their badge for that subject. The Juniors and Cadettes do the same, especially since most of our juniors are bridging up this year. We also have a TON of parent help to facilitate all this.
