My daughter is a 1st year brownie in a large multi level troop.
There's been a big push for "independence" from troop leadership. I'm not exactly where this is coming from and if this is a common thing in girl scouts and wanted to check with this group.
They've asking for volunteers to help make ratios, which makes sense. But they are asking volunteers to be matched with groups that do not include their daughter. The idea behind it is to increase girl independence.
Myself and some other families aren't sure about this solution. If we are volunteering we want to be matched with our daughter. We also don't know the girls and families outside our level that well. Curious if this is coming from our troop leadership or if it's a girl scout thing. How does it work in your troops?
