i'm a girl boy scout


Being the leader of the 11 year old Boy Scouts sure is ______. The fact is there's not quite a word to describe it no matter how many descriptive adjectives there are in the world. I didn't grow up with brothers and my family rarely went camping so I am nowhere near qualified or experienced in the scouting department. Yes I did win a Pine Wood Derby when I was 15 but I didn't even make the car so basically, I cheated...

Our first scout lesson was on knots, lashings, and hitches (talk about rough stuff!) I'm a pro square knot tier but that's it so let's just say we crashed and burned hard! Luckily the boys are smarter than us and they taught each other, well Henry taught everyone. This week we learned about the importance of physical health and exercising. I bet the boys I could do more push-ups than them...bad idea? A certain someone (Ahem, Henry) was reaching the 30's and I was starting to get a little nervous. But I'm proud to say we tied/I let us tie at 30 push-ups.
 S/O to Henry for being a champ.

Even though they act like they want to kill each other, (I'm talking wrestling matches and tackles galore) we have the cutest little 11 year olds. Scouts is probably the greatest part of our Wednesday night but let's be real, we can't wait for that hour to be over. I can seriously hear the angels singing hallelujah by the time 7:30 rolls around.
