teen torture I loved the way this book was put together from girls' journal entries, drawings and pictures. It gives you an indepth and funny peek at the inner workings of teen-girl psyche and what makes 'em tick (and get ticked.) What I found fascinating is that things haven't really changed since I was in high school: I remember getting ready for a grueling soccer match or track meet, the girls would spend hours applying makeup and using a curling iron... Running for 2 hours or in this case hiking 10 miles uphill with a 35-lb. pack does not faze the teen, it's telling them they can't wear makeup or smell good that'll kill them!! The book also makes you really love what the Girls Scouts of Am. (and sports) is doing for our young women. They realy make an impact. It also made me realize how much also depends on the wonderful women who guide them as "leaders" or I guess today they're called advisors. So way to go "Pockets" on leading a great group of girls through what Im sure was a life-changing, empowering journey! February 28, 2008
Fun Look into Suburban Teenagers Venture into the Wilderness This is a fun composite diary of a group of young women's (girl scouts) hiking adventure to Glacier Park. It covers both the wilderness and the intricacies of their relationships. It is a quick glimpse and all in their own words. Purchasing this book support's their quest to hike internationally--to SCOTLAND! You Go Girls! February 08, 2008
