"Making the World A Better Place" small act of kindness....

I am always thinking about ten things at once, but lately Girl Scouts tends to be right there in front.

I have truly been enjoying Girl Scouts.  Princess E insists she doesn't like it.  But I've decided to stick with it even if she decides not to continue.  Every time I tell her I am going to our meeting with or without her she decides to go with me.

So, Making the World A Better Place is pretty big, so I am reading the following at our meetings:

Daisies CAN

• Be kind,
• Help out,
• Show consideration,
• Participate in Recycling,
• Participate in Acts of Service,
• Learn about problems in the world (and how to fix them), and
• Learn to make good, thoughtful choices.

I am concerned that we didn't do enough this year on Respecting Authority and Respecting ourselves and others.  I want to make sure the girls are safety conscious, but I don't want to scare them.  It's hard with my own girls.  There is an excellent book called "The Gift of Fear" that I read years ago, unfortunately it's not geared toward 5 to 7 year olds.  When I was 6 the movie about Adam Walsh was shown on TV and it traumatized me for life had a huge impact on me, not necessarily a positive one.
