[quote=Anonymous]Mine dropped out after fifth grade because she found the journeys very boring and simply was not interested in finding a project for a Bronze award. She (and, quite frankly, I) got tired of doing cookie sales and then having 80+ percent of the money stay in the troop account. One day, the three remaining girl scouts will probably go to GS camp in Switzerland with all the money the other campers raised from grades 1-8. My daughter (now in 8th grade) is in two sports and found "her people" at a youth group in church that does a variety of service activities such as serving in a soup kitchen, putting together toiletry kits and lunches for the homeless, and helping out at the animal shelter. She doesn't have to commit to one activity and has made some very close friends, which was not the case in GS. We also occasionally go camping with another family, and she has learned some great skills. She had wanted to do this with Girl Scouts for years, but they never did.[/quote]
