[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Scouts, which is the program formerly known as Boy Scouts, is the far better choice.  While I caught on to this thread quite late, you should keep in mind that Scouts uses the outdoors as its classroom, where GSA has become more of a career orientation and social activist training organization.  Just choose what you want for your girl.  In our case, out girl loves going camping every month and working toward a distinction (Eagle Scout) that has national and life-long advantages. [/quote]
I wish boy scout moms would stop pushing their propaganda on every single Girl Scout thread that anyone posts.

p.s. I know it changes every six months or so, but as of TODAY, your organization's name is Scouting America. It's kind of sad when you people can't even get the name of your own organization right. SMH.[/quote]
NP and Scouting America mom here.  OP said they aren't leadership material.  As PPs have already said, for or for worse Cub Scouts runs on parent volunteers.  Not every parent needs to be a leader, but they do need to be able/willing to step up in some way.  So OP might not be a good candidate for making a switch.

Personally, I find both programs to be weak until the kids hit the middle school years.  I'd be interested to know if you disagree with PP's comment about GSA's career and social activist focus.  [/quote]
