[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We don't have enough girls and parents interested in our elementary school to start a Brownie or Daisy troop and I am aggravated that I've reached out many times to the regional designated contact, and she refuses to try to match us with another troop nearby that has "openings," nor will she permit my daughter to just join the well-established troop of girls at our small elementary school one grade above her (and she knows many of the girls!).  It all sounds very unnecessarily rigid (at least in the Montgomery County area) and has turned me off, though I had a wonderful experience doing Scouts as a child myself in a different part of the country.

So to the above PP who mentioned you can easily just leave a troop and find another if it's not working for you, I'd love to know how this works![/quote]

Multi-level troops are definitely allowed, it's possible that the troop a grade older than her is full. There are volunteer to child ratios - we couldn't fit another girl if we wanted to because we'd be above the ratio and there aren't any other parents willing to volunteer. You can definitely use your zip code to find nearby troops and just sign up to them without asking - two of the girls in my troop did that, they go to a neighboring school and just found our troop and joined because their school doesn't have one.[/quote]
