Go Girl!

 On this past Saturday, my little one and I went to the 2017 National Girl Scout conference. When I say wow, I mean it. There was so much to do and see.  I was happy to see all the girls there, from  different cities and races that only cared about nothing else but that the other girl was a Girl Scout and how patches she had. It gave me a chance to really see what Girl Scouts is really all about especially now that the Miss G is a Daisy. We explored all that there was to offer from the S.T.E.M programs that they had to all ages to participate in. There was also a service project that all the attendees could help with from stuff hygiene bags to writing  a cheerful note for the families at the YMCA family center.

Miss G was so excited and could not wait to go from thing to thing. She enjoyed spending time at the NASA and the COSI exhibits and interacting with all of the science experiments and technology present that she could work on.

Including all the S.T.E.M projects, there was also some craft projects sponsored by Jo-Ann's Fabrics. She really enjoyed creating her "super girl" cape.

I think the most important to learn for her during the conference was that she is able to do anything and just because she is a girl does not make a difference. We already practice this concept with our morning when we recite our positive words, but it was really reinforcing to see  the word spread across a huge wall.

I really enjoyed our time together and am looking forward to see what she accomplishes with her Daisy Scout  Troop.
