My Favorite Girl Scouts

Rachel and Hannah had their Girl Scout Investiture ceremony tonight.  Rachel is beginning her ninth year as a Girl Scout and Hannah is beginning her fourth year.  One of the leaders who has a daughter in kindergarten this year also has a daughter a year younger than Rachel.  She came up to me and told me she had to do a double take when she saw Hannah because for a second she thought it was Rachel.

I think this might be Rachel's last year in Scouts as she is interested in other things.  It has been wonderful for her.  Scouting builds self-confidence and gives the girls opportunities to try things they might not otherwise get a chance to try like canoeing and horseback riding.
