 DR> Girl Scouts have programs to help girls that might have problems
 DR> financially. In our council it's called the Opportunity Fund. It pays
 DR> dues, program fees, etc., as long as the leader submits the paperwork.
 DR> It's all between you, the leader, and the council. No one else need
 DR> know. For uniforms, most neighborhoods-service units have "uniform
 DR> closets" where uniforms can be obtained at no cost. They are donated
 DR> by girls/parents when they are outgrown, worn by another, and then
 DR> given back when the girl gives up scouting or outgrows the uniform.
 DR> About the only piece of the uniform that one might have to purchase is
 DR> the vest or sash, as those are usually kept by the Scout as momentos,
 DR> because the badges and awards are sewn onto it. So don't let finances
 DR> keep her out of Scouts. 
  She really wants to go into gymnastics and has the legs and muscles in
  them for it.  I am considering that right now.  Scouts doesn't seem
  what she wants right now.  But I will talk to her about it again and
  see.  Thanks.
