Nope, she raised her weary head and shook it when I asked her.
We'll be carrying her up any second ...

You can see how crazy it gets on here in an evening 
I was a Brownie then a Guide, but didn't stay in Guides for long as I got 'interested' in boys
My OH was a scout and then went into Venture Scouts and both of my sons were Beavers and then went on to Scouts. They loved it but they got keen on athletics and they couldn't do both. But they learnt a lot through the movement as did my OH. A great thing for youngsters to do.

Best get OH to carry her up.I wish I'd done Girl Guides or Scouts. I really hope she carries on with it but it's got to be her choice. She loves it but suffers from inertia towards trying new things on her own.
