[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are there any good alternatives to Girl Scouts?  We go to all the boy scout events with big brother and she loves it, but alas, she can't join.  The GS seem so tame to me for what my daughter's personality is like.  [/quote]

DD's elementary school girl scout school troop was very tame and just plain dumb. But, those are her classmates so she went sometimes.
She also joined a different troop - a friends troop from a nearby city - that did tons of fun things - camping, hiking, lots of stuff. At the same time. It was not a problem -
you just join multiple troops at the same time. I did ask a contact at girl scouts and they had nothing negative to say about doing that.

At the time I had angst about what I should do - but this was a good option and we had fun (I went to on camping trips).

It's also a good option to start your own 'action adventure' kind of small troop with some other moms if you can. The school troop refused to camp or do
anything like that (except once they had this group camping trip thing at a girl scout camp - forgot what they called it but since the local organization
planned the camping trip and did most of the work many troops that wouldn't otherwise camp went) but you could do those things with a different
troop.
The girl scouts have so many wonderful properties that you can use for a song it's a shame not to take advantage of them.
The summer sleep away camps are wonderful as well.
Have fun! [/quote]
