[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Interests change. Maybe the shift for the older girls should be on leadership development. I know when I was a GS it got repetitive doing the same activities. You can only make so many knots and sell but so many cookies. I think a new model should be rolled out for the older girls teaching them coding, entrepreneurial skills, and more. [/quote]

Already done.  It just depends on if the leader (and the girls for that matter) look for the right thing.

And there are the GS yellow pages for all local/national events as well as the pixielist.com for local needs/wants. 
 Many troop leaders are overwhelmed and need parents to help out looking for ideas AND implementing them.

Awesome...so maybe a new ad campaign so girls know "this isn't your mother's GS." [/quote]
