Today a troop of scouts came to the center for Remembrance Sunday, which is the same as Veteran's Day. We played some games, including tray jousting, four square, and bucket ball, and then we went and talked about the importance of remembering those who sacrificed their lives for us. At the end we encouraged the kids to come to our monthly youth club, and, like special scouting events I went recall, a badge in honor of the 100th year anniversary of the WWI outbreak was handed out. The event reminded me a lot about my time in Girl Scouts, the games, the badges, and lessons we learned from learning American Sign Language to being a color guard during a memorial service.
Today I am thankful for my time with an English scout troop and Girl Scout Troop #27 which changed my life and gave me so many opportunities.
