A mom learns what happens when you have to let others do the job you know could have been done better.

This goes back to my ability discussion. Do you really want someone else to be the leader? Are you sure your daughter will enjoy her experience as much? Well, if you’re sure, then okay.
Update: The mom said she was venting and wasn’t comfortable with having her words on my blog. Okay. I was just using her post to illustrate my belief that when a parent doesn’t step into a leadership role she can often be disappointed by the program that her daughter is receiving or not receiving as the case may be. If you are sharp enough to notice that things should be different then you’re sharp enough to realize that the only way that can happen is if you get it to happen. That usually means being a leader, but it can also mean taking a leadership role as an involved parent. My Girl Scout troop has many involved parents who are not leaders. It’s one of the ways we know we’re doing what the families enjoy. They participate. If your child is in Scouts and you want it to be done better then make it happen. Both you and your kid will be happier for it in the long run.
