Ode To The Girl Scout Leaders Family

Even though there are stacks of dirty dishes, laundry and an unmade bed, she's off once again to another Girl Scout meeting instead.

She has plenty of time to buy great snacks and food for all the troop, while here we wait, forced to survive on nothing but bread and soup.

Ah yes, they have grand adventures in the great outdoors 'neath the rain filled sky. Yet all we hear are tales of woe as sleeping bags and troop gear take several days to dry.

We'll be on our own to clean and cook, since, before an outing, the phone rings off the hook.

"What time do we leave? Where do we meet? Are we still going if it rains?" "Don't they read permission slips or newsletters?" the Girl Scout spouse exclaims!

Yes, their houses are neglected --- the Board of Health could close them in despair for, if man's existence is from dust to dust, you'll find lots on our unswept stair!

Being a part of leader's family brings with it a unique lifestyle.
We pray at least a few young girls will nurture and grow to make all of THIS worthwhile!
