In Vacationing

• If you want to plan a vacation, you first look to see where you still need to get patches
• You plan your trip to see your grown son and his family during the summer around the times when your co-leader will also be out of town so you can still get in the maximum amount of summer activities with the troop
• On a weekend hop you try and convince your partner that you really should go on Thursday, so that you have Friday to check out that council, after you could get lost!
• You work full time and take a week vacation to work at day camp!
• Friends planning our October holiday in Arizona with them - their comment ... "have you found out the Girl Scouts stores addresses yet - and you answer "yes"?
• You plan your vacation around the council's day camp schedule
• You bring your daughter's handbook on vacation to see if you can knock off a few try-it/badge/IPP requirements
• Your family vacation is going camping with your troop.
• When you plan a vacation to a different area of the country, you try to figure out a way to convince your husband to side track to the nearest council office for a visit and to check out if they have something your council doesn't have (ceremonies, special patches, etc.) And don't forget to convince him to meet your online friends living in that area!
