None of that. My daughter did crafts and went on a couple of field trips with the parents to a play and a nature walk.  My son went fishing, worked with wood and tools, did more survival type activities and had field trips to places like battle fields and the police station. I was just saying DD would have enjoyed the boy's activities more so maybe Girl Scouts, or her troop, isn't a good fit. [/quote]

Then push for these kinds of things in Girl Scouts. Don't come in and try to change/take over Boy Souts.

There is no reason why Girl Scouts can't add more adventurous and practical skills to their badges.[/quote]
