[quote=Anonymous] My daughter has twins in a Daisy troop just starting out, and I must say with two working parents even meeting just twice a month is already a big time commitment with some day trips. I do not think a girl stopping GS needs to be considered in a negative way, but rather value it for the positive experiences and outcomes it has provided for as long as one participates. Life at each stage is rather short so not out of the ordinary that kids would want to choose different things. I wonder if Girls Scouts have ever considered a way to "Invite Back" teens who may well have quit as 4th to 6th graders, but who might as high school begins consider it a worthwhile and interesting activity "if mentoriing/leading" younger girls could be a part of some badges or just volunteering in different ways. It is too bad it has to be a continuous activity through the years or nothing.[/quote]
