[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] ... I also think that the "bullying" or friction is more likely when you have kids at different social speeds -- the older girls being socially faster and more likely to shun or mock the younger girls who are not as sophistocated. The most important reason, however, goes to the heart of why girls join/stay in GS.... they want to be with their FRIENDS (girls they already know)! If there are enough 4th and 5th grade girls to have two troops, you can be sure that any 4th graders joining GS want to be with the 4th graders they know... and the 5th graders want to be with the other 5th graders. They usually have the same school concerns/classes/teachers and they want to share. .../quote] As I read this I was so disappointed. When I think of Girl Scouts, I think of the tag line ... where Girls Grow Strong. I think of it as a place where girls can be challenged to move beyond their classroom cliques - and you want to reinforce them.[/quote]
