CRAYON (aka Amara)



Last summer, Amara got to pick her Girl Scout name. This was a very big deal!  Amara had talked about her GS name for years. There were things that had to happen though. She had to be going into 6th grade and she had to attend both weeks of camp, along with completion of training for being a CIT (counselor in training). She had a small binder with things she had to learn. As always, Amara took her tasks seriously. Each day after camp she proudly showed me what she had accomplished.

In order to get a camp name, Amara had to submit three name choices and hope for her favorite. She choose Crayon #1, Bay leaf  #2 (Aunt Kim/Uncle Timmy are you laughing?!) and I forget the last (oops!). Big Sis did countless somersaults when she got her first choice. She then proceeded to ask us for a hat to show off her new name. It took almost a year but here it is. Great job by Mr. Hoodbrush on Etsy and now Amara is ready for Girl Scout camp with her sharp new hat!
