[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our 5th grade troop formed and has had the same membership since kindergarten.  It's a pretty random group of girls because no one knew each other when the troop formed in the September of kindergarten year.  Like your troop, it is a large percentage of the girls at her school, probably around 30-40%.

I do agree that the parents and girls are the "joiners." They're the same girls on the school soccer team, basketball team, in the school play, at PTA events, etc.  At least for our troop they're not mean and aren't cliquey.  It's a pretty nice group, but you do see the same people all the time.

+1 - but an even larger percentage of the girls are in GS for my upper elementary aged daughter.  And it’s the same people who do swim team and Girls on the Run, and PTA stuff.

It’s mostly the kids/moms who are joiners - there is a good amount of parental support.  Some of the moms aren’t my favorite moms, but eh, that’s life.

The only thing that kind of rubs me the wrong way is that while our school is relatively socioeconomically diverse for the DVM, the troop is not and is more UMC than the school as a whole.  It doesn’t seem to be deliberate, and really might just be due to a small sample size of one grade  that  has more boys than girls at a relatively small school. [/quote]
