[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My oldest did GS for a few years. Looking back, the activities -- for fourth graders -- were largely preschooler stuff like finger painting and making macaroni necklaces. Meanwhile, the Boy Scout next door was learning valuable outdoor skills. She was jealous. Why don't I get to do that, too, Mom? If you're going to lead a troop, then my advice would be to aim for activities that challenge and teach the troop a valuable life skill that will serve them well. I'd rather my girl learn how to use a compass instead of sitting there using glitter glue any day of the week! [/quote] Then go get camping certified and tell the leader you can be the camping parents. Or learn how to read a compass and tell the leader you want to lead "Letterboxing". Once again, it's "Here teach my kid something I don't want to teach her my self." GS is a volunteer organization and we depend on parents to share their skills. [/quote]
