Well, I was a junior leader in Guides (Girl Guides = Girl Scouts) for a while. It was just cause my mother was a leader.
I went through until I got to Pathfinder, then I just dropped it. Dunno why, just did. Had something to do with the endless crafts, I think.
But good job for you, eh? Let us know how it goes

I'm very excited about this whole thing, I think it's a good thing to share some of my time with little girls who are going to grow up in this strange and violent world. Maybe they will live long enough to enjoy it, and even become productive members of society.
If you were a man wantng to hang out with ypung boys I'd wonder about you
What about Cub Scout and Boy Scouts? Is that bad?
Oh and the rule is 2 adults at all time, and can never leave a little girl with a Male alone,,,,that was some good advise, given my profession....huh?

Yes, they stressed the importance of teamwork and everyone pulling their own weight, in my case that would be a mighty pull.....he, he.

I read how they are having an international group WAGGGS or something like that to include meetings with Girl Guides and Girl Scouts in every country. I may need your help on a question or two if I need, are you good with that?

Do you guys have Sparks down there (before Brownies)? I'm just curious, cause I can't remember how the systems differentiate, if at all.

I was a Girl Scout when I was younger. I really enjoyed it. Just don't volunteer to be a 'Cookie Mom' unless you've got some will power ... LOL. My Mom was Cookie Mom one year, and she ended up having to buy extra boxes that we ate.

They call them Daisys here. When I was a Brownie...in the 1970's (shut-up!), they did not exist. It was Brownies, Girl Scouts, and then I don't know. Now it's Daisys, Brownies, Junior Girl Scouts, Cadets/Senior Girl Scouts.

That's funny you should say that, the instructor said the same thing, she said get one of the parents to be the Cookie Mom (they call them Cookie Master, or something like that now). I can't, no place to put them..so I'm lucky.

Hmm. That's different. Up here, it's Sparks, Brownies, Guides, Pathfinders, Junior Leaders, Senior Leaders (it's basically a course) and then a full blown leader, if you choose.

As Shouse said our daughter was in the scouts.And it was alot of fun but alot of work to.Her instructors just wanted somebody else to do the work.And of course they would take whatever money we collected through sales.
But, its alot of fun if u have good instructors,and people do their jobs.Its a chance for kids who never get to go anywhere,and who don't have brothers and sisters to belong to something,and get to have fun.

I was an Eagle Scout in boyscots for awhile myself, my best areas were swimming and canoeing. Oh hey! Colleen, almost forgot, I'm getting my Bioptic Drivers License! I got my lerners permit now, and have been taking drivers training since September 2005. I should have my drivers license by August. When I do, I'm going to volinteer my time too. Not sure how right now, I was hoping to sign up for "Big Brothers/Big Sisters" but I haven't decided yet which organization to sign up for yet. pretty cool eh? A visually impared licensed driver! ahhh!! hehe!

yeah, now if I could only get financial aid, and get a REAL job I'd be happy. I don't know, driving will open up alot of doors for me though, I was offered a job once taking care of disabled adults at the Cardinal Center (helping them get dressed and off to work, cooking for them, etc) a houseparent basically, but they told me in the interview I needed a valid drivers license  so I'm hoping in August I'll be able to get that job.

Glad u got ur license congrads.I must b visually impaired to couldnt see the picture on that license.  I didnt know they even had a visually impaired license pretty cool.Unless it has that bumper car effect.N that won't b good. 
yeah, its called the Bioptic Driving program for the legally blind.
They have many different options, but the glasses I use are the Beecher Mirage system. I have the 5.5X magnification ones. With the Beecher Mirage, I can see 20/40 at distances of 8 ft (or more) away, although I find I can't focus anything in closer then 20..
In order to pass the eye test, I had to first be evaluated by my eye specialist Dr Windsor, and then he sends off a report to the BMV, and they send me a letter back saying if I'm approved or not. Once I was approved, I took that approval letter down to the BMV, and I took the written test just like everyone else does.
In order to pass that visual test, I had to meet the following criteria:
Visual acuity through the carrier eyewear is no less than 20/200 in one eye.
Visual Acuity through the bioptic telescope is no less than 20/40.
so instead of taking the eye test at the BMV, I take a different eye test at my eye doctors office before they even approve me for the program, so it works out good.
The only reason I'm even able to do this now, is because the Beecher Mirage 5.5X system is now accepted for bioptic driving, it didn't used to be 6 years ago and couldn't pass the eye exam years ago because of that. So I'm lucky I got to do this. It used to be, only 4x telescopes were allowed, and I only had 20/60 with the 4X system, so I was not able to start drivers training before now.
I'm now supposed to take 30 hrs of "behind the wheel" training before I go for my road test, but I'm way beyond that now. I keep having "drifting" and steering and breaking problems.. Its just because I've never driven a car before, and my instructor assures me I can do it, its just going to take practice. I'm just having "new driver" issues right now she says. She thinks part of my drifting problem is I'm not looking far enough down the road, I'm looking at the hood of the car rather then way off down the road like I should be, but she says its just going to take practice to be able to do that and spot signs and all that stuff..
They say they have caps for close distances (like for the computer) but Voc Rehab won't pay for those, and my eye doctor doesn't recommend them anyway for some reason. We tried a new pair of glasses just for the computer, but they were too strong, so I have to go back at some point, but I have to wait until I get a "computer job" before vocational rehabilitation will pay for them... stupid, eh?
