Zach and I dropped Sara off at the campgrounds tonight. It's her first camping trip. She didn't seem the least bit worried that I wouldn't be sleeping with her tonight. I took some pictures so I would remember her first weekend away that didn't include that guy she calls dad, LOL!! Here are a few:
She's a Daisy and staying the night somewhere without mom or dad?
Yep. There were 3 or 4 daisies I think. She has a brownie watching over her. Plus the troop leader of all the girls, has all the daisies in the same cabin and sleeping next to each other.

She was ok with it. I thought she would freak. She is one of the older daisies. The other daisies will be there for the day tomorrow. And I am picking her up about 10 Sunday morning.

omg,,I would be freaking! I have a daisy and a girl scout ,,,my daisy would not stay without mom,dad or sissy with her!
I'm a Daisy leader I only asked this because it is against Safety Wise for a Daisy to stay overnight without an adult....maybe your council is different...I just find it odd and thought they were the same guidelines throughout.
I hope she has lots of fun though!
Maybe it's different from state to state? I am not sure. I know there were 3 or 4 daisies on the all weekend list and the ones who weren't staying all weekend were coming tomorrow just for the day.

She called this morning and is having a blast. Said it was loads of fun and breakfast was delicious, LOL!!!! Told me she was loving it and they were playing like crazy!!!
I love the pics. It sounds like she's having a great time. My son was 8 when he went on his first overnight camp without us (with CampFire USA), and he loved it. Now he's going every year. This summer will be his 3 year. So be prepared for more trips like this :)
