[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ah I loooooved my Girl Scouts experience. We were a huge troop and had weekly meetings. We were very  active.

I’m not happy with dds Girl Scout troop. They only meet every other week, there are a mix of ages and all the kids don’t go to school together. I really wish I had just started my own troop. I love to plan activities, I’m busy and very organized. I wish I were a leader. Both the leader and coleader are too laid back. [/quote]

You would not be a good Scout leader. The best troops are scout led. The worst troops are parent led. Think about what that means.

They plan the activities - not you. There is chaos. Things start late. Things get forgotten BUT it is all about the kids leading. It is one of the few activities you can find that offers your kid leadership training.  The worst troops have parents who will not give the kids independence and want to organize things for the kids and lead the kids. Even if you agree with what I'm saying, from your post it is clear you are going to assert yourself all over some troop if you do volunteer.

Scouting is about the kids leading and all that entails. [/quote]
