I like to give Juliette options for upcoming badges. Most recently, she chose to finish out the Robotics progressive badges. She completed the first badge, What Robots Do, as part of her quarterly STEM Sisters Challenge. That was back in January. In the past few weeks, she worked on and completed the other two badges. …

We started the Between Earth and Sky Journey MONTHS ago. We literally started it in November on our cross-country train ride. Juliette finished most of it by the end of February, I think? But we pushed back the Take Action Project because it was still winter. I’ll share that in the end, but I’m going…

Juliette asked to take a short break in between homeschooling subjects today to work on Girl Scouts. She has a dream to become a Brownie soon, so she is trying to get into first grade asap. But I reminded her that she wants to earn every badge, so she asked for Girl Scouts. I don’t…

Back at the end of January, I saw a post from a public group about kids’ tool boxes on clearance at Lowe’s. The clearance price was under $7 each, so I called my local store and they had them… but only the red and blue ones. Looking in their system, they checked other stores in…

Something that I absolutely love about the STEM Sisters program is that it has introduced us to many more opportunities for Juliette. Tonight she attended a virtual program put on by the NASCAR Hall of Fame in order to earn three badges in an hour: Engineering for Speed. It was super-fun and I definitely recommend…

Today we visited my sister at her library and we’re planning to earn a fun patch, but instead Juliette got to enjoy storytime (my sister is really good with the kids!), deliver Girl Scout cookies to several of my sister’s coworkers, play in the children’s room, and go out to lunch with her. Cub had…

Juliette did NOT earn a new badge! This is not a drill! Yes, I’m goofing around, but these posts are usually about earned badges. Instead, this time it’s all about the booth… and several patches… unless she earns a badge in the next couple of days lol. (Update: she didn’t, but she did 2 weeks…

It’s been a few weeks since I’ve posted. Part of it is that Juliette hasn’t earned much in that time, but another part of it is that sickness and life got in the way. Another Petal Since I last wrote, Juliette earned the Respect Authority petal. We mainly utilized the Daisy Handbook for this one.…

This past weekend, Juliette attended her first Cookie Rally! It was fun for her AND her little brother (maybe I should call him “Cub” because he likes bears and will most likely join Boy Scouts when old enough – he’s 2.5 years old so we haven’t decided for sure yet). It was a council event…

This week has been pretty busy in Girl Scouts but also not busy at all because most of what we did was also schoolwork. Juliette completed her first Take Action project which means she finished her first journey!!! She also earned a petal and, since she kept asking to do STEM Sisters, she did the…
