[quote=Anonymous]I am a Lifetime Girl Scout. I have seen this happen. It is a good organization when leaders are able to align with the mission and prevent this kind of thing. Your daughter can switch troops if she wants to.

I would ask her how it is going compared to other years. The Council can send in someone to help with the dynamics. I would encourage you to have her attend GS summer camp, where she will find great role models in the counselors. GS has so many opportunities for older girls that are amazing, including leadership, outdoor skills, STEM, etc. My daughter canoed in the Boundary Waters in Minnesota and attended the convention as a girl delegate, and went on awesome trips with her troop. You might suggest that the troop get involved with helping younger Scouts, and you might need to help make that happen. That breaks up the cliques because they are busy helping others.

I’m sorry this is happening. Some of the girls who are more exclusive will drop out next year, and the ones who stay are more in line with the values of the organization. And some of the current girls will act differently one-on-one, if you can have them over.[/quote]
