Me: Scout put your head up in front of the tree so that we can get some nice tree bokeh behind your antlers.
Scout: Growl! Bite! Hiss! General cat anger! Oh, you're taking a photo! Please allow me to look cute while attacking your hand.
A mom's job is never done and Trish of Charlestown loves it.
For the two days of Riverfest she has helped run a booth for Boy Scout Troop 443 of Elkton that her son Logan is in, by selling refreshments.
"They sell pop corn like girls sell cookies so it's a fundraiser for them. Actually some of the money goes to our council and some goes right to my son's Boy Scout account. So they go to Camp Rodney this year," she said.
Raising money takes time and energy and the scouts can't do it alone, but they have to do their part. "Every month there's a camp outing. If he did everything that his troop does, it would be on an average of $800.00 a year. So I tell him your going to sell some popcorn bud." she told me.
Being a parent isn't easy, but it has some benefits. "The parents get to go on the outings to. I'm going next weekend to Camp Rodney." she adds.

Area I’s first-ever Girl Scouts ready to serve, learn, giggle
By Franklin Fisher

CAMP RED CLOUD, SOUTH KOREA – They’re new, they’re here, they’re eager to learn and serve, they’re Area I’s first-ever Girl Scout troop, Troop 512 of the Girl Scouts of America Overseas.
They only just started meeting this January, and so far they’re few – 10 girls ages 7 to 12, and two Girl Scout leaders, both of whom are Area I Army spouses.
It’s a “multi-level” troop that accommodates Brownies, Juniors and Cadettes.
They meet twice a month at the Casey Elementary School, where all the girls happen to be students.
In coming weeks and months Troop 512 will be doing all sorts of things that Girl Scouts do + holding meetings, taking trips, going camping, making friends and spending time with the Korean Girl Scouts, learning teamwork. Lots of giggling too, probably.
And then, of course, there’s that signature Girl Scout classic, the selling of cookies.
And when it comes to that, there’s no telling what heights the girls of Troop 512 will scale, judging by their success selling cookies this past season, January 13 – February 24.
The girls – there were only eight active at the time – managed to sell a hard-driving 3,800 boxes of cookies. And that was strictly inside Area I installations, those of the Casey Enclave in Dongducheon and at Camp Red Cloud in Uijeongbu.
That works out to 475 boxes per girl, well above the 100 to 200 boxes a Girl Scout in the States typically sells during the cookie season, said Laura Jones, who along with Shawna Garrett serves as scout leader for Troop 512.
“The girls worked hard, we’re very proud of them,” said Garrett.
“With our one little troop, we saturated Camp Casey,” she said. “They’re so tired of Girl Scout cookies here it’s not even funny.”
The scouts met with unstinting support and encouragement from the Area I community, including commissaries, Exchanges and military units, and from individuals who either bought cookies or donated money to support the troop, Jones and Garrett said.
“The most important thing is how fantastic Area I h+++as been,” said Garrett. “We had as much people offering to help us as we could ever possibly hope for.”
For Courtney Garrett, 11, a 6th-grader, cookie-selling is one of her favorite Girl Scout activities so far.
“It’s fun because like we get to talk to random people and like, make them laugh, even though you don’t know them.
“And it’s kind of like you got a good feeling, ‘cause you made someone’s day by giving them cookies that they can only get once and year and stuff.”
Her fellow-scout Kaylee Jones, 10, a fourth-grader, is looking forward to chances to “learn things” through upcoming trips like one they’ll be making to an aquarium.
“We get to learn about the sea and the animals that live there,” she said. “I just really like to see the animals and the fish and stuff.”
But she also got a kick out of cookie sales.
“It’s just really fun, like, trying to make cheers and chants,” she said. “What we did was we were acting like we were cheerleaders and then said ‘Girl Scout Cookies inside, $3.50 a box or 5,000 won.’”
Having its first-ever Girl Scout troop is another milestone in the transformation of Area I into a place where Soldiers served accompanied by their families, said Col. Hank Dodge, commander, U.S. Army Garrison Red Cloud and Area I.
“We think it’s a great thing because it shows the progress that we’ve made in a very short time,” said Dodge.
Within the past year-and-a-half to two years, he said, Area I has gone from having only 62 slots for command-sponsored families to more than 3,500 slots.
But it’s also good for the girls, he said.
“It contributes to the life of the children,” said Dodge. “It teaches them teamwork, it teaches them discipline, it teaches them respect for one another. And then it teaches them to serve not only themselves but to serve each other and to serve the community.”

Getting around the 2013 National Scout Jamboree at the Summit means "hoofing it". In keeping with the Boy Scouts of America's focus on conservation, Leave No Trace practices and sustainability, there are no shuttle buses for most participants as in past Jamborees.
