[quote=Anonymous]Speaking as a mom to to Girl Scouts and as a leader of one of their troops, it is SO MUCH WORK and so much administrative crap to be a leader. I work full-time as does my co-leader, and I honestly don't know if I can keep it going for next year when our troop will start middle school. All of the other parents in our troop also work full-time, and although many of them are great others are completely absent when it comes time to respond to emails, let alone pitch in and do a job. I think a huge part of the success of a troop is not only the mix of girls you have but also the time and willingness parents have to dedicate to the sheer paperwork and administrative hoops and organizational tasks that running a troop requires. I am sure a lot of girls drop out because their parents simply can't continue the workload of being a troop leader any more.[/quote]
