[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yep this is typical. GS requires a ton of parent direction that only gets more intense as the girls get older. I have been a troop leader for four years and am extremely burnt out because it is a lot of work and the parents are resistant to helping. I would also say that at least for our troop, the girls who have stayed are largely ones who are neuodivergent or at least quirky and don't participate in other activities, so the meetings can also be very difficult to manage. If the troop would not fold without me, I would absolutely quit. [/quote]

This sounds like a you problem. In my experience, the girls take over much more as they get older. Sounds like you are controlling and the other parents don't like you (probably because you are an ableist a-hol*).[/quote]

Hmm okay. I guess I can see why you took that from my comment, but you couldn't be more wrong. My non Girl Scout kid is autistic. My point is just that in my particular case, it is a hard-to-manage group of kids. That isn't ableist. It happens to be a fact. Thanks for calling volunteers names though!  [/quote]
