Even I cannot believe what I just did. I just did a bulk "reply to all" to an email from the very nice woman who was my daughter's Girl Scout Troop Leader last year. She has been pleading for someone else to take over because she is super busy this year - but so far none of the mom's have stepped up.
This year would be their second year as a troop and is also the 100 year anniversary of the Girl Scouts organization - and Jackie really loves being in girl scouts, so I did a stupid thing ..... I said that if nobody else would step up (and Jackie is ok with it) that I would! Not sure if I meant it more as a threat or an incentive to get one of the ladies to step up, but I'm hoping it does light a fire and one or more of the mom's do step up and help out their daughters!
This was what I wrote in the email:
Thank you ___________. Unfortunately Jackie’s mom is working and taking care of a baby.
While I don’t think it is appropriate (or fair to the girls) for a guy to be a Girl Scout Troop Leader, I do think that Girl Scouts are important and that this 100 year anniversary should not be missed. SO >>>> if nobody else decides to step up (and Jackie wants me to) I will volunteer.
You probably do not want a hair farmer being your girl scout troop leader, but it is an option ….
Thank you,
Joe
