<span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large; line-height: 115%;">I have been my younger daughter’s Girl Scout leader
since 2008, when I started my troop of six little Daisy Scouts. Like many
leaders, I felt a bit overwhelmed when I first started, even though I had been
an elementary school and preschool teacher since 1987. My leadership training
was practically non-existent, and the internet did not have many resources
available. Every time I had a meeting, I had to create my own lesson plan on
how to go about it. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large; line-height: 115%;">Being a teacher, I had been doing this for my entire
career-long before you could do an online search on how to do something. But when I attended my monthly Service Unit
meetings, I spoke with other Daisy leaders who did not have my professional background.
They felt a bit lost as to what to do and where to start.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><span face="" style="line-height: 115%;">That is why I started <b><a href="http://www.girlscoutleader.net/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">my original Girl Scout blog</a></b>, Girl
Scout Leader, in January of 2010. I wanted to reach out to other leaders and
help them as we traveled on this wonderful leader journey together. </span><span face="" style="line-height: 115%;">Over time, my blog evolved as my troop grew older. It
is like an online diary of what my girls have done since kindergarten!</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large; line-height: 115%;">A lot has changed in the Girl Scout program since my
troop has been Brownie Girl Scouts. I used the old badge program since, at that time, the badges were still readily available and there were so many more Try It choices than the new
program. Leaders are still using it, but the badges are becoming increasingly
scarce.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large; line-height: 115%;">Leaders still have a lot of the same questions on how
to earn Brownie Try Its that they had years ago. Whether we are at home full
time with our kids, work part time or full time outside the home and juggle our schedules accordingly,
we are all busy women who have committed ourselves to our daughters having a
wonderful Girl Scout experience.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><span face="" style="line-height: 115%;"><b><span style="color: blue;">The purpose of this blog is to make your life as a
leader easier</span>.</b> Every single badge in the new program has its own page with a
detailed lesson plan with the five steps necessary to earn that particular Brownie badge. With ideas and
resources readily at hand, I hope you bookmark this site
as your “go to” place for earning your badges. Less time planning means more
time for you to enjoy the meeting instead of stressing about what to do and how
to do it.</span><br />
