[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have any of you ever heard of a dad being a Girl Scout troop leader. There is a dad leader in my local troop and I’m really bothered by it. I wanted my DD to see an example of girls leading each other. I also worry more about exposure to potential abuse when it’s a dad leader. I’m thinking about not joining for these reasons. [/quote] Yes - there are a lot of rules around what men can and cannot do in Girl Scouts. He can never be alone with the girls, for example. There must always be another adult female present. When they go camping, he has to have his own tent/cabin and bathroom. He cannot share with the girls or even female adults. I think there is far more potential for abuse within Boy Scouts, given its, you know, history of abuse.[/quote]
