Girl Scouts - Shrinking or Growing?
Posted by admin under: Girl Scout Reorganization .
The Girl Scouts of America is combining its councils. Does that mean it is shrinking in size and needs to combine? Or does it mean that they want to grow the size of their councils? Well, probably the former, but if you want to read about it from the perspective of the Los Angeles area councils that are combining you can go to their web site: http://www.girlscoutsla.org/.
These changes are part of a re-organization the national leadership bills as changing for the 21st century. I’m still ambivalent about the change since I like the traditional program and what it represents: traditional values of outdoor appreciation and development of each girl to be her best. That includes, for me: camping, singing, mentoring younger girls, and learning new skills through the badge program.
I’ll be bringing you more of my opinion on the re-organization as I come to it and the individual aspects. I’ve got a post brewing about the changes to the Silver Award program, but I’m still getting up to speed on the traditional form and new changes. So, that’s for the future.
