[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]GSCNC has made it difficult for troops.  They have been tightening rules. Some are for safety. Council prefers troops to be made up of a singular grade level of girls, so a smaller pool of parents. GIRL Led is good but it is a process to get them there.

Each troop needs at least two unrelated adult leaders, one must be female. The Troop also needs a Cookie Manager, who is no longer allowed to be a leader. The troop also needs a Money Manager, who is no longer allowed to be a leader, that has changed in the last five years. You also need a First AId certified adult for events away from the regular meeting location, that can be a leader.  First AId must be updated every two years.  Also leaders have to take training for each level and Girls move every two years. If you want to go camping you need a camp certified adult, that training is 20 hours at least.  Many other activities require special training or finding someone who has that training. [/quote]

I agree that the Girl Scout rules have just gotten to onerous.  I see where they are coming but they just don't make practical sense with the way troops are generally organized.

OP I would plan something at the end of the year to use up the money.  If the families don't want an overnight trip then maybe an awesome day trip to a water park or a party at a trampoline park.  The girls should celebrate and use their money somehow.  Sometime this spring let the families know you will be unable to be the leader next year and you're happy to transition the troop to someone else.  If no one steps up let the families know who they can contact at the council to learn about other troops their girls can join.  Or if you know another troop send around that leader's contact info.
