Scribe badge 3

This took forever to get done. I think because the girls, or some of them, are doing something similar in school. Last night, we sat down and they wrote up their articles. This morning I typed them into Word under a news letter template and sent it out to our Service Unit. I can not wait to have feedback from the other troops. I debated on posting what the girls wrote on here, but there is too much information on them. Not sure if other troops want that out in the great big cyber world.

So what is next for our troop. Right now we are in the middle of our fall product sale. This sale is important to me, more so than cookies. But I have to admit that I was a little bit disappointed when I asked how the girls were doing and no one really answered. I hate to tell them that they really have to sell, or they will be paying a lot more for winter camp than they would like. My daughter is nearing the half way mark for her sales, but we haven't sold any magazines yet. I really want her to sell 100 pieces so that she gets the 90$ in product money to use toward camp. I don't understand why councils do not change up this program to get it a better rap. This is such a good opportunity for troops to earn start up cash, but no one wants to do it. We make more than we do for cookies, if people just tried. End of vent.

Next week we are working on the staying fit badge. This should be fun since I am anything but fit. lol

How many chances do you get?

Or an alternative title would be, "as long as council gets their money, they don't give a hoot about the girls or the community."

I get so frustrated with our council. Nothing like having them reinforce time and time again, that all they care about is the money.

That leader who I have complained about before. The one who broke the rules at the Halloween parade and whose float ran over a parents foot, the one who broke the rules of cookie sales and there was photographic proof of what she was doing wrong, the one who did not turn in her financial report till September, and the one who did not give her girls badges they earned and lied about camp requirements so she did not take them on a trip? (I just found that out, but I don't think I wrote about it. Her assistant leader is now getting a troop of her own and sharing all kinds of details about what went on)

Yeah they are letting her keep her troop and take on new girls.

So there are no consequences when you break the rules.

There are no repercussions for failing the girls you are supposed to be leading.

As long as you bring in that cookie profit, you can keep doing what you are doing.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!
