I grew up doing Girl Scouting (and work for the Girl Scout Council of the Nation's Capital during the summers) and defintely see a lot of similarities - I think missing some of the "sisterhood" of Girl Scouts is what made me consider a sorority.
I love Girl Scouting, and think it's a great organization. I am a co-leader of the local Junior troop here, and I am so excited to go play with them every Friday!
It is frustrating to see how it becomes "uncool" as the girls get older, especially getting into junior and high school. I think that it's something that GSUSA really needs to look into.
