I was reading the forum for Eagle Scouts and know there are a lot of women on this site so began to wonder how much scouting has influenced each of you.
I only began scouting with my children but was a leader for my daughters troop for 12 years as she went from Daisies to her Gold Award in Senior Scouting. We did a lot of camping and learned many skills although seemed to fall just short of the backpacking idea.
I am sure these experiences have influenced my daughter over the years and I can now saw proudly that she is a member of the US Armed Forces. She still loves camping and has been a Girl Scout Camp Counsellor every summer for quite a few years now.
