[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Who the trooper leader is makes such a difference. Ours is done through our school and the main troop leader is a super type A, tiger mom. DD did one year and I volunteered and while the girls and the other parents were great, this woman's vibe was exhausting and she was extremely competitive and this made her kids very competitive too. It could have been low key but she made sure it wasn't.

This year we kind of arranged it so DD's ballet class conflict with GS. DD wasn't that into it anyway and wanted to try gymnastics anyway so it's fine.

I did GS in school and the girls were all very sporty and outdoorsy. I was bookish and not outdoorsy and didn't always fit in, but it was still a good experience.[/quote]
I would not think a tiger mom type would be troop leader—that is a strange role for such a person. I had a run-in with one who seemed to interpret our chat as a competition, and she kept trying to one up my DC until she couldn’t (my DC is in a sought-after program hers is not) and she gave up and left.
