Typical parent.  Complains but never helps.  A troop makes it as "cool" as it wants to be.  My troop went to Space Camp/NASA last year and we are going to Switzerland next March.  We raise between $2000-$5000 a year between fundraisers, cookies, and fall sales.  We donated half of that to charities the girls decide on.  We meet with assisted living residents once a month to play board games.  We have holiday parties at shelters for families in need.  Two of my girls had internships with Congress.  All of them have been inside the White House.  We went dog sledding, geo caching, white water rafting, sleepover at the Spy museum and more.  They are all earning their gold awards which is a huge deal and takes hours/days of work and is well received for college admissions.  Once my kids were Cadettes, they were running the show. I am just the appointed adult.  It has been fun watching them grow.  I have been with them for 10 years.  Everyone of them plays a varsity sport and some have a lot of commitments but there is still time here and there and we just make it work.  Wouldn't trade it for anything. [/quote]
