In Volunteering
- You decide
after five wonderful, yet tough, Girl Scout packed years
to take a year off from leading, until the Fall when your
daughter's "new" leader begs you to be an
assistant.
- You are
thrilled to have the next year off after assisting for
two years, yet happier when you open your mouth and offer
to take the troop next year for the three girls who are
"lost" after many tries at getting into a
sister troop
- After a
heart-breaking two hours of verbal abuse by several
"will find anything wrong parents", you do not
quit... you move forward... and upward in Girl Scout
volunteering
- You do *not*
council-bash, knowing it is in poor taste and not the
Girl Scout way!
- You continue
to seek ways to serve the Girl Scout program
- At your end of the year
trainer dinner you get talked into doing just one more
Basic Leader Training on Saturday
- Your training schedule is
already fuller than almost everyone else's (except those
other two people who are soooo lucky to be on the same
training team) and while you're at the final SUM meeting
at the council office you get talked into doing a Basic 8
and Level I Outdoor training for the 1st week in
September
- Your husband offers to find
you a remedial class in how to say no and mean it, but
you just can't fit it into your schedule
- You do
nothing but grumble about how busy you are with all your
Girl Scout activities but when the year is over you are
so bored that you start working on projects for the
following year
- You ask yourself EVERY year
if you are going to be a leader again..after a long
exhausting scouting year..you ponder..then say..might as
well do it again as you get a big hug from one of your
scouts
- You are a volunteer for
several scouting positions
- You are hosts to
scouts/guides visiting your area. You invite them to
sleep in your home and entertain them for FREE! and you
don't even know them!!
- After filling in your
calendar with the up-coming Girl Scout meetings and
events for the next 12 months you turn to your
husband/mate and say you will not volunteer for another
thing and he just laughs!
- You have forgotten how to say
NO, or how to spell it!
- You make a
contribution to the annual giving campaign of both your
current council and the one you grew up in
