[blparent] Girl Scouts

Wed Apr 21 21:20:43 UTC 2010

Adult girl scouts is the same kind of activities as the younger girls, but
is for women over the age of 18.  As an adult scout, you can also be a
chapparone for younger scouts. V

What is adult girl scouts? 
I'd Google, but am afraid I'd get some not safe for work stuff. 
V, why did you not push back on the woman who said you couldn't be a
leader? 
Awhile back, the Girl Scouts were doing this thing with engineering,
basically trying to get women who work in engineering to talk with Girl
Scouts. 
On the announcement, they wanted a drivers' liscense. When I told them
this was not needed for what they were wanting. i.e. no driving was
required, they were very apologetic
My daughter I think would like Girl Scout type activities but is too
young, so I'm looking for I guess, something like Girl Scout lite,
something she and I could do together that is like Girl Scouts.

Priscilla Ferris, the past president of the NFB of MA, was a Girl Scout
leader for years and very active with Scouts for a long time. If you
want to
contact her, contact me off list at bpierce at nfb.org and I will get hold
of
her phone number--don't know if she still has access to email.

Well what started this is at the end of May there is an event called
Roar
and Snore at the zoo.  It is a troop based event and our troop will not
be
attending this year, but Gab really wants to go and for that matter so
do I.
But you either have to be a leader (certified with a back ground check)
or
you have to be an adult girl scout (certified with a back ground check).
I
don't mind the background check, but a couple of years ago, I inquired
about
becomine a leader and they said I could not because I was blind.  I hear
the
woman who told me that is no longer there.  So I was just curious if
anyone
had difficulties obtaining that status. V

I am a girlscout leader. It was a very simple process actually. My niece

wanted to join girlscouts. They didn't have a leader for brownies, at
her 
school, so I convinced my sister to be the leader. Each troop has to
have 2 
leaders. Ours actually has three. But anyway, I filled out the
registration 
form, paid my 12 dollar yearly dues, attended a few classes, attend a 
monthly service meeting, and of course we have two meetings with the
girls 
every month. I suggest contacting your local girlscout council. I'm sure

that they are always looking for leaders, at least that is the case
around 
here.
