A Look Into the Craziness

I’m recovering from four weekends in a row of activities. First, there was a Junior encampment. Next, a Junior camping trip. Then a middle school band trip to Dollywood, and last, a backpacking weekend with the Cadettes to Congaree National Park. Plus throw in some meetings here and there. Needless to say, I was in survival mode for a month. I really wasn’t sure if I was going to make it after riding the wooden roller coaster at Dollywood. It felt like someone shoved me into a blender and poured me out after the ride was over. Every fiber of my being cried out in pain, “MY GOD, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE??”
Anyway, a few months ago, I created a Facebook account specifically for my Girl Scout random comments and experiences, because while I do share a lot of GS related photos and updates on my personal account, this one can be best described as a look into my Girl Scout stream of consciousness. I’ve probably now scared some of you off. I originally created it as a joke but it’s kind of taken on a life of its own. Right now, everything is set as Friend Only due to my not wanting pictures open to just anyone, but I’ll probably eventually go back and change some of the updates to Public if you don’t want to extend a friend request. (Edit: I’ve gone on and done that). But if you want to check it out, feel free to friend me. If you dare! Note: Apparently if you’re not already logged into Facebook, you’ll get a Page Not Found message.
This is a reformat of the Cadette Think Like an Engineer Journey that’s found in the Volunteer Toolkit. Compared to the six PDFs from VTK totaling 135 pages, the reformat is 56 pages. So it’s still lengthy, but at least this will save you some paper. Nothing has been modified, except that the word “SAY” has been replaced with “Suggested conversation,” and I took out some extra spacing that I didn’t think was necessary. This reformat includes all of the handouts with the exception of the Cadette Take Action PDF, which I’ve also linked directly from the GSUSA website. Please note that I do not claim this as my own invention. Basically all I did was reformat this Journey to make it easier to read and also to keep your printer from melting down if you need to print it out (like I do). 
In case you’re not up to speed and have no idea what I’m talking about, about two years ago, the Farthest North council out of Fairbanks, Alaska, 
Last June, I wrote a post called 
I finally got around to finishing the Junior Think Like A … Journey Trilogy series by completing the Junior Think Like an Engineer Journey. Like the others, I took the set of 6 sessions from Volunteer Toolkit and slimmed it down by reformatting and removing any duplicate material. You can also find the original set from the 
The series of Highlander movies features a famous line: “There can be only one.” I’ve personally never seen any of the Highlander movies because I’ve heard they involve heads getting chopped off, and I’m not one for gore. It makes me queasy. But moving on from decapitation – put on your reading glasses, because this is a long one! And it involves discussion about national governance, so go get some coffee, too! You also might need to whip out your copy of the Blue Book of Basic Documents, since I know you all carry one around in your back pocket. You never know when there might be a governance emergency!
