[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just venting that my daughter would love to be a Girl Scout and I’d totally be a leader but she was the only one at her school that signed up. We were offered to join a neighboring schools troop, but she would be the only one that didn’t attend that school. Feels like I’d be setting her up to be the outcast. I’m so sad about it.[/quote]

How old is your daughter and can you ask the service unit if you can talk to the troop leader? With luck they are moms who will work to integrate your daughter, especially if they are Daisies or Brownies and might not know each other yet.  When my daughter was in K her troop was all at the same school but those 14 girls hadn't all met one another by the time the first meeting happened.  If she is that young, you can also work out some playdates or depending on where meetings are suggest a few minutes on the playground afterwards.

I totally understand why you're stressed and disappointed but if you're willing to be open-minded it could work out well.  From experience, I'll say that especially with girls having multiple friend groups is so good as they get older that way all their friendship eggs aren't in one basket if there becomes drama in upper elementary or middle school.
