[quote=Anonymous]It's what a lot of others have said, but it was the same experience for me too. In 4th grade I began to get self-conscious about wearing the uniform but stuck with it because camping sounded fun and 5th grade was the earliest we were able to go in my school's troop. By 5th grade I was mortified to wear the uniform and begged my mom not to make me wear it. The first few camping trips were fun and novel but quickly got old. It would never even have occurred to me that a GS troop COULD be girl led - our troop leader was the leader and we did the projects she planned for us which felt boring and rote. And the cookies - F Girls Scout cookies. If I never have to see another one in my life I'll be happy. The above are reasons why I discouraged my dd from joining and was relieved when she never really showed an interest.[/quote]
