A Life Better Than I Deserve

BIG AHG and BSA Scouting News!
Two years ago our family decided that it was high time that we find a local American Heritage Girls Troop for our girls to participate in! Our eldest son was having all the fun with cub scouts, and we wanted more for our girls.
We had signed our eldest daughter up for American Heritage Girls seven years ago, but her group wound up splintering off from what then became the main AHG Troop. We were two months into participating before the leader mentioned what had happened. We wound up trying to reenter the "main" group twice in successive years, and were twice placed on a "waiting list."
Then we moved to a parsonage and lived nearly an hour away.
Then we promptly became busy with other activities and it slipped our mind for a little while.
After we moved to Alabama and settled in, the subject came up again. I did some research and discovered that we had a local Troop which was only one year old. My husband and I discussed it, prayed about it, and we placed our girls in at the second meeting of the year.
It has proved to be such a blessing for our girls. They love having a group of girls they can meet with every other week--singing songs, making crafts, going camping, learning, earning badges, doing service projects, praying, and just having friendships with other Christian girls!
So, I was excited to read about this historic partnership between our two favorite scouting organizations!

The sunburn saga worsens. Turns out, I'm burned on the backs of my knees and calves. I didn't put sunscreen there because I never get my legs sunburned walking. At least I haven't before.
