I was in Girl Scouts from K-6th grade, I think I skipped one year. Why did I stop? Because it was dorky. And I say that in the most non-pejorative way possible. But, the fact of the matter is that a lot of 12 year old girls, myself included, aren't interested in being nature woman (the name we called my baby-popping, breast-feeding at the meetings, hippie wannabe leader). A little updating never hurt anything.
Yeah, "Studio 2B" is a name that's just trying too hard. But I think that if the focus is on girls developing into women, and developing friendships, that an update is needed. Popsicle stick crafts are not cool at 12 years old. Programs that appeal to the more tech-savy girls, and that are just not as corny would be a good thing in keeping people from leaving for the exact reasons I left.
I also have issues with the cookie selling, but that's another discussion all together...
