My daughter is 30...(how did that happen?!? Years fly by!)
Back in the day I was her troop leader (Daisies-kindergarten all the way thru Seniors—high school). We did a lot of traveling (Toronto, NYC twice; DC twice; Broadway series shows in our Cultural District) and we raised our funds thru the cookie sales. New did booth sales, parents taking order sheets to work; very little door to door.
By the time the Girls were in HS, GS started changing to the left. But as I was and long term committee member, troop leader, etc I was left alone to run our Troop, our way. Hardcore “follow the program” rules came in for the “new” (Daisies and up) Troops. It’s a shame, because we selected out.r badge projects around the theme of our “big” trips. The girls learned history, budgeting, planning, etc. All of our girls earned their religious awards (Catholic and various other Christian faiths) and always participated in our area “Scout Sunday.” I can’t imagine HOW that goes on now with the political leanings of GS.
All that said, my heartbreaks for Stormi. He is in the foster system; got placed w/a nutcase foster mom (the caseworker should be fired!) after having been removed from his biological mom. The kid has so many strikes against him. This is just shameful, putting his agenda driven story “out there” with him appearing in photos.
This is a foster child? The caseworker should be prosecuted. That person allowed a mentally ill foster mother get a hold of that boy.
