Like 25 minutes away in traffic. It was also at a different school so not with her friends. That set up made no sense to me so she never joined. [/quote]

Hi- the troop wasn’t full, they just needed more leaders. If you had volunteered it would have opened more spots. [/quote]

No, it was full. When I looked on the website it said “full,” when I asked the council(?) person, she said it was full. My only option was to have her join a not full troop or start a new one. I’ll admit I was not into it enough to start a new troop.

The difference was striking compared to Boy Scouts where my son signed up at open house and attended (with parent) the next meeting. This was before girls were allowed to join or my daughter would have joined as well. Instead, she did “little sister stuff” with the other sisters at the meetings. [/quote]
