[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have had a positive experience with GS so far, largely due to great troop leaders.  Their does seem to be a lot of paperwork.  For those of you with troops that did not do a lot of outdoor activities, did you offer to lead any activities of that nature?  Usually the activities are chosen by the girls and/or geared towards what those volunteering know or have an interest in.[/quote]

Usually I am all about getting off your butt and volunteering instead of complaining, but as a troop leader, I have to say it's not so easy. You may want to take the kids kayaking or rock climbing or whatever, but if you don't already have those skills, most likely you will either have to spend a lot of time and money acquiring them or pay an expensive outfitter to organize the activity. I wish GSCNC would devote more resources to organizing affordable, turnkey outdoor programs. They did do an outdoor skills day last May at Brighton Woods, which I thought was very good, all things considered.
