[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One challenge with, say, a 4th and 5th grade troop:  If the troop leader is the mom of a 4th grader, she is not going to be with the 5th graders when they bridge to Cadettes.  She will stay with her daughter.  There may or may not be a troop for the 5th graders to go to.

What would happen to those 5th grade girls then, if no one starts a troop for them?   Could they just stay with the younger girls anyhow?[/quote]

They could join an existing Cadette troop with openings (this is possible - many girls quit at the age, so there may be a troop with openings).  Or they just won't have a troop.

In my school, all the troops are single grade.  All girls bridge together, and the Daisy troop of first graders becomes a Brownie troop of second graders.

The programming for Juniors and Cadettes is dissimilar regarding badges and journeys.  There is some possible collaboration, but you would really limit both groups if you only gave them options where they could all do the same thing.[/quote]
