[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Girl Scouts have several camps this summer which are a lottery system... How does that make any sense? Why are they not "first come first served" like any other normal camp?

But if you volunteer at the camp then your kid will automatically get in. Except it's a day camp and you're a working parent and they have no volunteer opportunities for working parents....

Sorry rant over.

But seriously GS's, try getting into this century.[/quote]

I know it's hard when the system isn't rigged for you.  I'm sure you can find and afford a different camp for your daughter.  The Girl Scouts are trying to ensure that people who can't be in front of a computer precisely when the camp registration opens get a chance to go.  Or don't have the ability to stand in line for hours or whatever.  I know that's hard for you (and others like you) to comprehend, but there you have it.

How ironic you get the issue with being a working parent and not being able to volunteer to guarantee a spot and knowing how that sucks, but you don't get why they do registration the way they do.[/quote]
