Scouting - a Movement that Matters!
I also was a Girl Scout leader and trainer for many years. My grandmother and my mother were both in Scouting.
Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts have been in the forefront of the Green movement for a long time.
Nowadays, both Girl and Boy Scouts are learning about how to help our nation and our world, one service project at a time.

About my life
I have a blog and a website about Nontraditional Students, a personal website called the Betsyanne website and a personal blog called The Moon and the Willow Tree.
This summer I am going to plant some Heritage tomatoes, peppers, and beans. Wish me luck, because I compete with some spunky rabbits at times who can squish through my metal fence pretty well.
My favorite Scouting activities are stargazing, crafts, camping, journalling, nature studying, singing, and doing plays.
Books for Scouts!
