I loved being a Boy Scout, but now I have two daughters and no sons.
My wife became the local Girl Scout Troop Leader. I got background checked, and have done several certification trainings with the girl scouts.
Since I enjoyed being a Medic in the military I have taken the Girl Scout classes to be the troop medic. I go on campouts with my wife, my daughters, and about 30 other girls.
I make it a point to teach the girls to do "guy stuff" like building campfires, pitching tents, chopping firewood, etc. My wife likes teaching the girls to cook, clean up, etc.
We had a girl scout meeting tonight. This was the 4th meeting in a row where I brought my own wood working tools and have been teaching the girls to use a miter box, screw driver, hammer, etc. and tonight the 4 oldest girls built bird houses to earn their wood working badge.
Girl scouts is no where near as cool as boy scouts was, but I know that I'm making a difference and helping these girls learn life skills.
Im seriously thinking about showing them how to change a tire next month...
You are making Girl Scouts way cooler than the average troop. Good on ya!
