So kim you are good to go on the Office 2007! woo hoo!
Marielle, nice outing with the troop, our brownies are only allowed to do one outdoory activity per year, the all district camp out. They saved all the camping/hiking for the girl guide years. We did three or four hikes and two camps each year.
Back in the old, old days when DrHug and I were leaders I don't think there were restrictions on how many outings we could do with them.
Or if there were then we just ignored them.
We went on a weekend campout with the Brownies and also took them to the mountains for a weekend in the snow every year plus other outings. We did the same with our Junior troup. We just did not think of getting permission to take them on an outing.

Today was spent cleaning while DH painted the master bathroom. It is now a pretty sage green. I am going to look for a border to go along the top next week. 
when he sees how great she looks in that dress.
