[quote=Anonymous]NP here, and 12 year old DD will start her 8th year in September.  I love it as an activity, and think it is especially great at transition times (starting ES, MS, HS, or changing schools). IME, it is always a nice group of girls.

In terms of time commitment, you usually decide how much time you put into it. At a minimum, dropoff and pickup from meetings 1-2 a month, and dropoff/ pickup from leaders houses or activity venues for outings. When DD was younger (through 2nd grade), every parent volunteered for one monthly meeting a year to provide an extra set of hands. You also oversee your daughter selling cookies. But, if you want to get more involved, there are always extra ways to do so-- serving as leader or cookie mom (both big commitments), chaperoning small activities (outing to the air and space museum) or big ones (overnight camping), helping to man cookie booths or chaperone Thinking Day. I'm also a WOHM, and usually try to volunteer to help out a couple times a year. But, generally, I think the time commitment (and $$ commitment) both for girl and parent (Dad can help too!) is low, when compared to other kids activities in the DMV area.
