[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]“Our existing troops don’t want your girl, but we have such a great program that you should gladly agree to form your own troop and run the entire thing just to create a slot for your daughter.  You are plain lazy not to do so.  By the way, when you form your own troop you will gladly spend months complying with our procedures and engaging in retail product sales to pay the salaries of our professionals.”

There is a big difference between this program
 and business approach and that of other opportunities.  Think carefully before you agree to do this.  Narrow your focus to only that which is best for your daughter.  Select an organization that will serve your family and not the other way around.[/quote]

I see parents dishing out $500 bucks in fees for soccer, arts programs, and other after-school activities. Including BSA.

Girl Scouts is $25 the first year and then it's the absolute cheapest activity you can find.  Yes, there is a lot of time spent on cookie sales, but the money goes back to the troop and my daughter has gone skiing, camping, crafting, hiking, etc. for no cost to me except my time.  [/quote]
