[quote=Anonymous]Gold Award Girl Scout here, and leader of a cadette (middle school) Girl Scout troop.

Fortunately, my troop is still full, and we actually had to turn away two girls this year because we didn't have room.  
I work really, really hard to make sure my troop is girl-led.  So far this year we've done three camp outs, archery twice, will be going rock climbing in a few weeks, and many of my girls are on the planning committee for our service unit's younger girl encampment.  
About half of my troop earned Bronze, and so far it looks like about 1/3 of them are going to work on silver.

My troop is full of kids that you would probably call weird or dorky or quirky or whatever - and I adore every last one of them. I'm thrilled they've found their place to belong and to try new things and to develop their leadership skills.

And yeah.. they want to spend some cookie money to buy girl scout hoodies instead of wearing their uniforms on some events because other jack-ass kids are stating to make fun of them for being girl scouts.  So if you're one of them, you should really re-examine your life.[/quote]
