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.

GSCNC has a lot to offer because of the local area. The Silver Trefoil was designed specifically to take advantage of unique federal opportunities. How many teenagers get to work for a week in the US Senate or House? How many at an embassy or NGO? My daughter and her fellow troop members did this and more. They volunteered for the Inauguration, they were mentored by the Women of Law of Georgetown.
Congrats on your lifelong commitment to Scouting! It is women like you who are shaping the women of the future!
