[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a Lifetime Girl Scout. Girl Scouting is an excellent organization, and I have worked for and with them in several states. There are weak spots in any large organization, and the troop leader in the earlier years does have a large impact on the troop experience, however, GSUSA has put a real emphasis on encouraging many parents of troop members to participate in leading the girls. You can always leave a troop that isn’t a good fit and find another.

Girl Scouting offers girls a chance to try new things, to gain skills, to work cooperatively with others, and to have fun and be accepted for who they are.

Girl Scouting offers older girls so many unique experiences, from travel both in the US and overseas, to participating as a delegate to local and national  conventions, and as a participant in outdoor experiences that all serve to build girls of courage, confidence, and character.

Girl Scout resident camps are safe, relatively affordable, and accept non-Scouts. I, and later my daughter,  have had the chance to take whitewater canoe trips, ride horseback for overnights in the mountains, kayak in the most beautiful areas of our country, and cook meals over a campfire before crawling into a tent.

It is what you make of it. [/quote]

Is Girl Scouts now open to boys too? [/quote]
