Fishing with the Daisies!

Today Megan had her last Daisy outing of the year. Her troop combined with another troop and went fishing. This was a Girl Scout sponsored program put on by the Game and Parks of Nebraska (I think). We met at a local lake and each girl was given a fishing pole and a tackle box. They received a little bit of instruction and then they fished for about an hour.

Here are they are learning how to fish from the instructor:

Let's go fishing!

I can't believe she picked up the worm and put it on her hook! I wasn't going to touch it and the instructor said she would only do it once, so the girls were forced to put the worm on if they wanted to fish. Megan just jumped right in and picked it up! Her daddy would've been proud!

Megan caught a fish! (She actually caught three of them while we were there today!)

They got to keep their fishing poles and tackle boxes, so now she can go fishing with her dad whenever she wants. I also think she learned a lot today and she did almost everything herself, except take the fish off the hook and throw it back into the water.

Next year, we are opting out of Girl Scouts. We found out that the Girl Scouts of America supports ideas/ programs that we don't believe we should be supporting as Christians. We refuse to give our money to a program that supports programs that go against the morals and values that we are trying to teach our girls. We are going to look into an alternative scouting club next year called the American Heritage Girls.
