[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] 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]

Does it have to be by school?   In our town and Service Unit, troops are just formed by whoever wants to form them.   Our troop is a neighborhood troop and has girls from 7 different schools (and homeschoolers).

Could you start your own evening troop that had girls interested in camping?   [/quote]

Where would I find the girls?[/quote]

Word of mouth, invite-a-friend, parents at other kid events, blurb in church bulletins, bulletin at nearby library/community center, table at neighborhood fair, blurb in local neighborhood parent listserve, register your troop in the Troop Catalog as being interested in camping/outdoor activities   http://girlscouts.force.com/girl/GirlCatalog_TroopGroupRoleSearch[/quote]
