World Thinking Day

Today we particitated in World Thinking Day with the Girl Scouts.  It was a great event.  The idea is to educate and open the minds of the girls to the world around them.  There were booths that were representing different countries and the girls walked around getting pins and stamps in their passports from each country.  Some of the things they learned at each booth were...what is the name for daisy scouts, brownie scouts and girl scouts?  What do scouts do there?  How to say hello in each language.  And what foods they eat (some booths even had some to try).  I loved the event...I'm always thinking of ways to expose Hannah to culture and the world around her. 


Here are some of the pins she received.

Always Be Prepared!

I was a Girl Scout and now my daughter is a Girl Scout.  Actually she is a Daisy Scout, which you can imagine I just love.  Daisy Scouts weren't around when I was younger but if I was a Daisy Scout maybe I could attribute my love of daisies to my early years of scouting.  I started out as a Brownie Scout...maybe that's why I love chocolate???

Today we went to the Firehouse on a field trip.  The firemen talked to the girls about safety and then gave us a tour.  As we were walking around I noticed their boots.  They were not by their lockers.  They were by the doors to the fire engine and truck.  And the doors to the fire engine and truck were left open.  I started thinking about how prepared they were, and how the scouting motto is "Be Prepared".  I'm not going to get all deep on you, but I'll leave you with just one question...Are you prepared?  Always Be Prepared!
