[quote=Anonymous]Tell them now that you are not going to volunteer in the same capacity next year. Next year, say the three activities that you will do and only do those. Politely say no when they mention or ask you to do 18 other things. Don’t sign up for the things you don’t want to do. When parents try and pressure you into doing cookies say “No, I have done them the last three years, I am enjoying Aruba this year” or sleeping in on a Saturday morning and not picking up cookies.

If your daughter likes the outdoor activities and wants to do more outdoor activities, like camp, look for a different Girl Scout Troop that does those things or join a Girls Troop for Scouts BSA. I know that camping and all the outdoor activities are there in Girl Scouts but very few Troops do them. They take extra training and bodies and Girl Scout Troops are small. The pool of volunteers is small so it is harder to do some activities.  One of the benefits to a Girls Troop in Scouts BSA is that the Troop is likely to be larger so there are more volunteers. This makes camping and outdoor activities easier to put together. The monthly camping trips are a part of the program and the Scouts and Adult volunteers know that when they sign up so they happen.
