I once read that many of your female senators all belonged to GirlScouts at one time, so it is more empowering than I think people realise. :)<br />I so love that you were homeschooled, that is really cool. I have two friends in the US who are homeschoolers who were homeschooled also!

I remember one girl leaving our group, despite loving it, as she was being teased at high school. It is never to late you know ... you could become a leader and motivate wee girls. The kids adore young leaders. ;)Multi-tasking Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07824304337746456198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4066366214252939738.post-72379504232172886132014-04-03T04:44:56.912+13:002014-04-03T04:44:56.912+13:00That is so cool!

I wish we'd known about it (if it's even a thing over here) back then because our Girl Scout group (my mom was scout leader) split up from lack of participation. I would have loved to that the correspondence thing. So cool! I was also homeschooled so I'm looking forward to reading your blog and learning more about how it's done in your country. :DAchieve1dreamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15401246064499148344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4066366214252939738.post-73094030758469560222014-04-03T00:59:44.103+13:002014-04-03T00:59:44.103+13:00Sounds a lot like Girl Scouts here in the US.

We have a couple of groups here in NZ, that are similar to your Keepers of the Faith, they are called Girls Brigade and Girls Rally. My girls used to attend Rally but they meet quite late at night and it got a bit much for them especially in the winter.Multi-tasking Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07824304337746456198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4066366214252939738.post-38941140769048285462014-04-02T17:36:05.895+13:002014-04-02T17:36:05.895+13:00What are girl guides?

That is so exciting. I remember how you've been pining for the bush. Enjoy!Sue Elvishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04461161335483760142noreply@blogger.com
