I remember all the fun we had at meetings. I absolutely loved to earn try-its\u00a0and get patches. Unfortunately, Junior Girl Scouts was a different story. My leader never had anything fun planned. I earned dozens of badges on my own but don&#8217;t remember earning any with my troop. Needless to say, I never bridged to Cadettes. Later on, When I became a leader for my daughter&#8217;s troop, I realized just how much time and effort it took to be an engaging leader. I began sharing ideas on my website <a title=\"MakingFriends.com\" href=\"https:\/\/www.makingfriends.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">makingfriends.com<\/a>\u00a0and then went on to develop the <a title=\"Badge in a Bag\" href=\"https:\/\/badgeinabag.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Badge in a Bag\u00ae<\/a>\u00a0 line. I would like to thank all the leaders who have given me ideas and input throughout the years and plan to continue to share as much as possible.\r\n                            <\/div>\r\n                        <\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Your\u00a0Girl Scouts\u00a0have probably been learning about animal habitats since first grade.
