My troop meets every Friday night in Germantown. Right now my troop is on the brink of disbanding. It has been so hard to keep young girls interested in Girls Scouts. So at this point a troop that has been established for over 20 years may not be for long. Now my troop has always been a small group but that has never stopped us from doing things. In fact I believe that because our troop was so small we were able to do more things. We try to show the girls that Girl Scouts isn't just arts and crafts and camping. Girl Scouts is a sisterhood. It is one of the first sororities that a girl gets to join. With the rewards being life long friendships and life long skills.
Our troop has gone on different trips. Each trip teaching the girls something new about life and about themselves. Currently this year we are planning several get- togethers. The only thing stopping us from going is at this current moment we have 2 girls registered. Each year it is the same thing. Our numbers get smaller and smaller. Does this mean that parents don't have the same values they did 20 years ago?
