[quote=Anonymous]Regarding not requiring parental involvement - at first blush, I agree that there should be a requirement that there is parental involvement - especially with the younger girls. But my daughter was a GS in a Title I school that had a ~70%+ immigrant population. Several of our troop members were very happy to be involved, but their parents had minimal time to be involved or experience with scouts. They were all lovely people, and brought snacks and stayed for meetings, but they were not comfortable taking the lead on organizing or planning due to language differences and other responsibilities. Our troop leaders now (in a very different socioeconomic area) have basically made it clear that they will plan one meeting a month, but they need parents to step up and plan badges or other activities. And enough parents do. [/quote]
