Brownie Cover Girls

I forgot to blog about this to everyone (though some of my mommy friends know it already!)

Brenna's Girl Scout troop went to the Capitol a few weeks ago. When they were leaving, a woman ran up to them saying "Oh good, you're here on time! Let's get started." The troop leader said she didn't know what that meant so the woman explained she was sent there to meet a group of scouts to photograph the cover of the calendar for the Nation's Capital Council. She said our group was so well behaved and in full uniform that she assumed they were the ones she was looking for. Not exactly - Brenna's troop was just there for a tour.

That group arrived shortly after and insisted our troop stay and be in the photo as well (our kids looked sharp in their uniforms even if it skewed the number of Brownies in the photo! 13 of the kids in the photo are from our group. The older girl in navy in the back is a wonderful Senior scout who graduated from our school and helps out with our girls.)

We heard that one of the photos taken will definitely be the cover for the 2009 calendar. That's called being in the right place at the right time! And you know I'll get several copies to keep. :)

She's really enjoying scouts this year and they've had some fun trips that I've been able to join in on. We're going camping over Memorial Day weekend which will be Brenna's first overnight camping trip. Wish us luck!
