I'm so glad you guys did this forum. I was a girl scout from the time I was in first grade until I graduated!! It was fantastic! I do agree though it is a shame that they have a hard time retaining it's older members...the funny thing is that I switched troops about 3 years after I changed schools and found out that most of my friends were in my new troop...we were the largest in the council with about 23 girls. I really think that all NPC groups should actively participate in the organization because of it's dedication to women and to the development for leadership. I had both styles of troops, ones that liked to go camping and the ones that wouldn't know how to start a fire, but they all were rewarding. Also we used to help faciliate a day camp for one week each year. We would assist troup leaders with their troops, I had sooo much fun doing it that I have been trying to become a leadre, but sdaly I don't want to commit myself without being able to make sure I can make the time commitment (I plan on it when I find a steady job!)!! sorry to yap, I just didn't realize how many gs's there were on this board!!
