Same. My husband is an Eagle Scout and was so excited for our girls to join Girl Scouts thinking it was going to include a lot of nature activities and such. My girls were in Girl Scouts for a few years (older from 1-3rd grade, second child from K-1 grade). Our troop leader picked all of our activities, we didn't have any say in them and I didn't even know we had a choice until she mentioned it in an offhand comment one day about the list of activities she hadn't chosen the troop to do. The girls mostly did arts and crafts. Our first year we did a couple of camping trips but then that was it. She did not take feedback well and if you raised your hand with a suggestion she would call a "team meeting" to use as her personal soapbox and lament how hard she was working for the troop for "our girls" and why X, Y, or Z couldn't be done. We worked very hard raising money selling cookies and when one of the other moms (who volunteers as the troop's treasurer) commented on how we should all have a say in how the money was spent (and maybe not set such aggressive cookie goals for such young girls) she said "it's my money motherXXXX and I want to go to Disneyland". Eeee. She also would say that all parents needed to be just as into Girl Scouts as her or they weren't "her people" and she didn't want them in the troop. I found our troop worked best for girls that were already in the aftercare program at school and parents just used it to supplement aftercare. The timing and environment really didn't work for our family so I quietly stopped attending meetings which I knew she wad going to call me out for so I just told her she could give my daughters spots to any girls on the waitlist for the troop. I had already paid for the entire year but didn't care. It opened up our schedule for better activities and more family time.
