When I read the post from Wishboat I about fell out of my chair. What type of message are you sending about the focus groups and the girls that are giving their opinions? Why would their ethnic background matter?
Do you even know the Girl Scout Law?....."make the world a better place, and be a sister to every Girl Scout"
It does not say make the world a better palace for all the blue eyed, blonde girls of the USA. Studio 2 B is what the girls want it to be. You dont have to use the S2B books or earn the charms. Let the girls decide on badges or charms. My girls want charms so they are going to do different fund raisers and complete projects that will earn them money for future charms and our winter survival trip. They also started looking thru the badge book for ideas and found that they still have great ideas and can also earn badges along the way. Give them some space and let each girls voice be heard. In the end it is all about the girl.
