“My daughter and God daughter are both brownies and love Girl Scouts. We've been apart of two troops so far that have both been affiliated with a church. The first troop they joined were very unprofessional and rude. The leaders seemed so uncaring and irritated Everytime I saw them. It's like they dreaded even being their; although my daughters didn't realize their attitudes it was plain as day to me and several other parents. That horrible leadership experience lead me to see if I could change troops (I even heard one of the adult leaders whisper they didn't like someone their, what horrible leadership skills).They even had a problem with me not wanting to take on the responsibility of selling a bunch of cookies with my girls even though I explained to them it would be our first time. I requested they be placed in another troop and I'm more satisfied with the leaders. They appear a bit more sincere and professional. Professionalism goes a long way with me since I want my daughters to be professional in whatever career they take on. The TRUE pros about both troops were the activities,events and experiences rather than the leader skills from the workers. They visited the natural science center, picked strawberries, did alot of arts and crafts, went camping, out to eat and much more. If it wasn't for the events and activities I personally wouldn't be interested in allowing them to attend Girl Scouts anymore. The 3 star rating I gave was solely based on the 2nd troop experience but the first troop deserves a complete and uttermost No star!”
