This is my second year as a Daisy Troop Leader. It is very overwhelming becoming a troop leader as there is so much to learn and do to make it a meaningful experience for the girls. I called the Hornets Nest Girl Scout Council many times with questions. Without fail, if they could not answer a question, they would find the person who could. I was never put off or shuffled around. They care about your question and want to help.

Secondly, we tragically lost one our key council volunteers this year to an acute medical condition. The council volunteers, troop leaders and Girl Scouts rallied around the family with heart felt letters, a scholarship fund for her surviving children and through countless other ways that honored Meg's life and her impact on others through the council. Hornets Nest Girl Scout Council puts people first, not getting bogged down in the administration of all the work they are doing. I am thankful to be a member.
