Like every mom, I am busy! I'm a homeschooler, churchgoer, sports-mom, work, etc.! It is hard to keep up with everything. Since I had a troop last year I was able to talk to them about their interests for this year. In addition to an upcoming fishing derby, I have set the dates for the entire next year of meetings, and planned our activities through October. In my opinion, this is way easier for levels higher than Daisies, as you have specific tasks to do in order to earn badges. Since this will be my first year as a Brownie leader, I wanted a few weeks to make sure everything is going smoothly before I have to start planning again.
I've clipped all my registration forms to Health History forms and any other paperwork I need to make it easy to distribute and collect paperwork from parents. I like to start the year early so I've already sent out a reminder that our first meeting will be early in September.
