[quote=Anonymous]I was a Girl Scout and so were my girls. I love the idea of Girl Scouts, but none of the 4 different troops I’ve had experience with, fulfill my hopes. One seemed to try to teach the girls some skills, but it fell apart quickly. In general, the program seems more about socializing while trying different activities, rather than learning skills. At this age, I think kids really want to learn skills, especially outdoor skills. The only skill they really seem to care about is cookie selling, and that they overdo. Their troops fell apart, and my kids were ready to move on to other things. I think we all have some pleasant memories from Girl Scouts, but I think if I was looking at options today, I might try cub scouts. I think my girls would have liked their program a lot better.
