[quote=Anonymous]This is happening to my daughter as well. I really want to pull her out of the troop but she doesn't want to. It is painful to watch and based on my perceptions of how the moms are and the other girls - I have zero hope that it would or could change. Out of 5 girls, 3 have become "BFFs". One is sort of a floater but she is not excluded. My daughter is clearly excluded, but at school, she eats lunch every other day with two of the BFFs (the third BFF hates my daughter and talks badly about her). 
I think my daughter doesn't want to leave the troop because she's afraid she wouldn't have the girls to sit by during lunch? 
My tolerance is decreasing and pretty soon I'm going to just insist she stop going to the meetings which have turned into social playdates with the three BFFs anyway. If this is how girl scouts as an organization is run, it's a joke. I brought this to the attention of the council and they offered to find my daughter another troop but it was affiliated with another school (other troops were full). That does not promote social inclusiveness in middle school doing all extracurricular activities in other districts. Sorry for my less than professionally written post, I'm clearly at my wits end. The moms are just as bad as the girls IMO.[/quote]
