Girl Camping Tent

Train your little girl in how to set up her girl camping tent in the yard before she joins the Girl Scout Troop in her school next year. She has egged you no end to buy her a child tent when she saw this on the Internet one time, and has not stopped nagging you since then. She has always been interested to join the Girl Scouts early because the neighbor next door, a lady teacher in the school and acts as the Girl Scoutmaster of the Troop, has always asked her if she wants to be a Girl Scout every time they see each other.

That question constantly asked of her must have intrigued your girl so much,
especially when she sees your neighbor in her green colored uniform passing by your place. Little girls are very impressionable and she is no exception. Now that you have bought her the coleman kids, you might as well start teaching her on setting it up.

Let her do the tent pitching on her own and do not spoil her; just watch her do the task and only assist when she cannot understand some of the written instructions in the brochure accompanying the kid camping supplies that was delivered only two days ago. She should be able to do the unpacking of the package by herself because in the girl scouts, she must do this on her own and no one will help her once she is part of the Troop.

Try to include in her training now, aside from setting up the childs tent,
some techniques in girl scouting that you learned when you were a girl scout too years ago. If you have forgotten some of them, you can always ask the neighbor who is the Girl Scoutmaster in the school to help you. She will certainly like your teaching of your girl ahead because she will likely use her as the model when she teaches the other girls the techniques in scouting in the Troop later.

In the evenings, you could extend the training of your little girl on her girl tent so she can have also an idea of what it will be like when she participates in Girl Scout camping later. Your girl seems to be afraid of the dark always and that may not be good when she is already a girl scout. Help her get rid of that fear this early by showing her out in the yard that there is really out there that should make her afraid.

Your little boy, who has been teasing her always on this fear of the dark she always entertained before, can help by confirming to her that her fear has been unfounded all the time. The kid has always been the brave one, not unusual for a boy. He can accompany your girl in the girl tent until she gets used to staying there alone all by herself later, after sometime.
