Just remember, chances are- these girls are going to love you for spending time with them. Let that sooth your mind.<br /><br />And, whenever I get worried about a situation I'm going into, I remember this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fhOrxkGlLDMMerrillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16362728651047864873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-53873677645881723.post-80794384290678255472012-10-09T15:01:44.279-06:002012-10-09T15:01:44.279-06:00When my Mom started my AHG troop back in the '...When my Mom started my AHG troop back in the '90s I remember her and the other troop leader sitting out in our driveway (with the car still running) on Thursday night's talking about things from that night's leader's meeting. I often wondered what they talked about out there for so long... Likely it was some of the same things you're feeling--uncertainty of how to do things, how to approach a room of just girls... However, they made it through with grace (and lots of fun!) and I'm sure you will do the same--your daughter will appreciate you for it!clbu224https://www.blogger.com/profile/14124655222969542016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-53873677645881723.post-57906046291401357242012-10-09T14:38:01.381-06:002012-10-09T14:38:01.381-06:00Starting in on my third year with AHG, and I can r...Starting in on my third year with AHG, and I can reassure you with one thing -- with that many girls, you WILL find some you understand. Some you won't. Some are tomboys. Some are girly-girls. Some are loud and outgoing. Some are quiet and reserved. That's the beauty of it -- they all get to spend time learning to get along. Better yet, there's plenty of caring, adult supervision to make sure they DO learn to get along, and it never turns into a playground free-for-all. You'll get the hang of it, and so will your daughter. It's great. Really it is. After the first night, anyway. :)LuckyFindFabricshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04270876288608572491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-53873677645881723.post-4107538027796645352012-10-09T14:37:35.670-06:002012-10-09T14:37:35.670-06:00You'll do fine.

I have two older brothers I always tagged along with (a sister too, but she was so much older that I actually avoided talking to her when she came back home to visit). My daughter has the complete opposite personality of me. So she was so excited to start AHG. So much so that I am the troop coordinator! I'm on my 4th year now. I've learned a lot (like the RIGHT group of girls doesn't have to be so scarry) and now I LOVE it! Annenoreply@blogger.com
