"As for the changes, I'm sad that they went to the khaki uniforms for the older girls. The blue was so much prettier! Oh well."

The girls who just graduated this year were the last group eligible for the blue uniform. Most of them preferred the color and the cut of the blue over the tan. The blue vest was longer and could fit more IPPs and patches.

Sorority programs with Girl Scouts

Do any sororities besides Kappa Delta currently have programs with Girl Scouts? Maybe just something your chapter does?

We have Girl Scout Badge Day each semester, and we have around 60 girl scouts come, and we set up stations and help them earn 2 badges. It was very cute doing this, and its one of my favorites that my chapter does!

Nu Chapter has done this before as well. I remember doing Girl Scouts way back in elementary school - we did some fun things, but also some weird things (why do Brownies need a makeup and skin care workshop put on by Mary Kay ladies? Really?) ... I still have some of my gear somewhere.

When OPhiA was first founded, it was a requirement you had to have been in Girl Scouts or Campfire Girls - b/c of APhiO's connection with BSA, and OPhiA's connection with APhiO.

They changed the uniforms??? Wow, that is a pretty big change too.

I was a Brownie and Junior scout, from 2nd to 6th grade. I almost didn't get to be a GS my 6th grade year, because we couldn't get a troop volunteer the first part of the year. After that, of course, there were no volunteers for a Cadette troop and we were afraid to continue because the Cadette troop leader was kind of a mean lady. I really wish I would have found some way to get involved. I later found out that a friend across town stuck with it on her own throughout high school.

Part of me would like to volunteer, but I'm afraid I might have too much on my plate already. But when I have kids, you can bet they'll be trying out Girl Scouts!

I do hope you will volunteer for your daughters. The biggest challenge facing Girl Scouts is the lack of volunteers to be troop leaders. So many of us are no longer stay-at-home moms or feel we don't have the outdoor skills needed. There is training. Or we don't have time...you know the answer to that, you make time for what is important.
