[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The girl who is trying to make scouts coed wants to be an Eagle Scout. Why don't the Girl Scouts work to create a similarly rigorous and comprehensive elite scouting achievement like Eagle that the girls start working towards as Junior scouts? If they have one they do not publicize or promote it very well. I do not remember one when I was a Girl Scout (through 7th grade). The only thing Girl Scouts publicize and promote well is cookies, and perhaps that is where the problem lies.[/quote] I refused to do cookies with my troop after the first year. The money goes to national, none to individual troops. We asked for contributions from family and employers for troop activities. Many employers will match contributions. Cookie sales are supposed to be required but no one enforces this. It's a racket. We focused on boating, hiking, camping, team building games and not the often-silly badges. [/quote]
