Not yet. Around here, girls seem to start with Girl Scouts when they start kindergarten, which will be in the Fall for her.

I never liked pack meetings. Too chaotic. Den meetings were okay.

You need to come to our pack meetings. We
never have a plain old meeting, and usually the only times we meet at the sponsoring church for the pack meeting is for the Pinewood Derby (this month), Blue and Gold (February), and Graduation (May or June). Otherwise, we go do something -- go bowling or swimming as a Pack (and earn the beltloops), go on a nature hike, do a service project, go to a museum or planetarium, go on a hayride, or the like. The actual meeting part is short and usually held in the parking lot of wherever we have gone (we pull flags out in the parking lot and everything), followed by the activity. We try to keep it fun and, as one of our leaders says, "keep the 'outing' in 'Scouting.'" As a result the boys (and their families) look forward to Pack Meetings, and it's never the same thing over and over.
