[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a girl scout and a cub scout. I am much more impressed by the organization of cub scouts. Each den in cub scouts is embedded in a larger pack, so even if the leaders of your particular den aren't strong, you still have the rest of the pack to provide a good experience. With girl scouts, if you have an uninspired leader (like we do) you're really stuck. My son does much more interesting stuff than my daughter.[/quote]

You're not stuck. Volunteer to help or sign up to be the leader. That's how it works. [/quote]

I'm an outdoor GS leader.  I'm camp certified, have the FA certification, kayaking, ropes, and archery.  My issue is not that I won't step up but rather the way GS forms troops is by school not interest.  My DDs troop is interested in arts and crafts not camping.  DD and I end up volunteering to go with other troops who are lacking a certified adult.  Its fine and it gets my DD the outdoor experience she wants but she doesn't have a troop of friends that share her interest.  We've tried to join some of these troops but meeting time/location often prevent it especially if they meet right after school.  I can't get my kid to the other side of the county 15 min after school ends.[/quote]
