Woohoo!

Just got a few e-mails from our Girl Scout service unit director, one of which included this paragraph:

"In addition to starting a new Daisy troop this year at Briar Vista, we'd like to start another Brownie troop (to be led by <'song>) and a Junior troop (we need leaders, though). So, in addition to recruiting girls, we want to recruit Daisy leaders, an assistant leader for <'song> and two Junior leaders."

(but using my real name, which I don't use on LJ)

I get my own troop.

I get my own troop!!!

I get to be a full-on troop leader. And mousegrrl has already agreed to be my co-leader. Kick. Ass. I get to mold young minds in my very own way, on my schedule. I get to actually plan the activities instead of leading meetings with no preparation. Kick. Ass.

At the same time, I'm a bit intimidated. And I need to take the first aid class, like, right now.

*squee*

I get my own troop!

hmmm...  this is the second article I've seen posted by an lj_friend
that was tripled.  wonder if it's just the servers being maintained
or some other side effect...

Anywho, congrats on bein' a scout leader!
Congrats to mousegrrl too. :)

I fixed the tripling. And thanks! :) *beam*

[gev.livejournal.com]

whee, you deleted the other two already. :)

[m0usegrrl.livejournal.com]

thanks!! i'm so excited! =)

Yaaay!

[terig.livejournal.com]

Very, very cool! Go you!

[m0usegrrl.livejournal.com]

yup, i'm gonna be a Girl Scout co-leader. muahah. =)

"this isn't your mother's Girl Scouts..." indeed! =)

[shadesong.livejournal.com]

Yeah! I'm having them send your packet to my address, cuz I don't know your zip code. I'm so excited!!

[m0usegrrl.livejournal.com]

whee!! ::poing!!:: i get my own packet and everything!! =)

i really need to tell my mom -- i was a Brownie Scout when i was a little girl...

[shadesong.livejournal.com]

Dude, you were? Cool! The girls can interview you!

I think LJ is being a bitch. I've seen the tripling happen about 6 times. and then it goes back about 5 entries and doesn't let me see things I've already read, or it will say "This journal is in read only mode while we peform maintenance on the server in which it resides"

LJ is a bitch.

anyway. I think you getting your own troop is very cool, but this line? "I get to mold young minds in my very own way..." frightens me a little. =)

[shadesong.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it's being a total bitch today. Fortunately, I caught and fixed my tripling...

Heeheehee about the mindmolding....

Reminds me of Bujold's character, Cordelia, when informed that she was going to be in charge of the education of the recently-orphaned 6-year-old emperor of Barrayar. Paraphrased, because I don't have the book in front of me: "But, Aral! They made it clear I was to have *no power*!"

[shadesong.livejournal.com]

I love Bujold.... :)

Seriously, though, I had such angst with the idiot troop leader last year - I'm so thrilled to have my own troop and be able to handle things my way. Especially with Mouse as my coleader, we're one mind in two teeny little bodies.

Hmmm, we can do a karate demo to help get the sports patch...

[m0usegrrl.livejournal.com]

we totally are, too. all y'all who've never seen us together when we start bouncing in and out of each other's heads are gonna either shake your heads or sit back and ask for popcorn. =)

i'm just thinking of all the nifty art and music stuff we can do -- these girls'll have every Art Try-It that exists!! i'm so excited!!

'song's Subversive Scouts! The world may not be ready for....the Kat-n-Mouse-keteers!

Congrats to you both. Seriously, I'm sure the troop will be a great success.

[shadesong.livejournal.com]

Totally! I mean, we can do some *really* cool things here. I'm literally bouncing. :)

[mfree.livejournal.com]

Congratulations :) I'm sure you'll both be great.

[deza.livejournal.com]

WOOHOO!

I have got to move over there, just so Ro can be in your troop...

[shadesong.livejournal.com]

Seriously, do that! We can always use another co-leader...

Unh-unh. No way. BTDT.

Eeep. *scurry*

[shadesong.livejournal.com]

BTDT? Wuzzat?

[m0usegrrl.livejournal.com]

BTDT = "been there, done that", methinks...
