Another CMM Story by Selina

Hello Everyone!
I haven't wrote much ever since I became the editor, but here I am now! Okay, getting right to the story!

Campfire Meadow Magic (for those of you who don't know, it is an event where our troop brings other troops of Girl Scouts to our leader's giant meadow in her backyard, and teach them basic and/or advanced skills on camping, survival, and fun ways to enjoy, appreciate, and respect good mother nature) this year was loads of fun as usual.  It is a troop fundraiser, and we earned about $500 in one day towards our trip.

I feel that this year's girls got a lot out of it, and I really hope that they had fun! I even made a new friend with my same name! A shout out to Selena! I hope you and your troop are having fun with the new knowledge, songs, and memories you've gained during our time together! :)

It is really magical when you see their eyes just light up when that first spark flies. To watch this generation of girls get their little hands into the soil and enjoying the feel of earth between their fingertips! It brings me back to when I was their age, sitting in the backyard making mud cakes and splashing in rain puddles. I only wish that I had an elder brother or sister to play with me, and teach me all about the wonders of the natural world.

That is why, my only wish this year, is that there were more young girls bursting with curiousity  like all of you who participated this year, eager to explore, create, and understand. I wish our troop got to work with more of them, and hopefully change the way they view the outdoors for the rest of their lives.

We will post more information on our next CMM session in Spring. We hope to see more old and new faces then!

Until next time, stay safe, have fun, and we cannot thank you all enough for your kindness and support!
