Sounds like there is confusion about the differences between Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts!!
Lots of girls don't like to go camping and do outdoor activities. Girl Scouting is basically set up to be girl led at every age with age appropriate activities. Sometimes leaders forget that the "mall" is not the only age appropriate activity that the girls might want to do! So if the leaders are not suggesting other things, then the girls need to. As parents you should be encouraging your daughter to explore her world and make suggestions to her troop leaders. Boy Scouts do 90% outside activities, do they go to museums, or the theater or ice skating, roller skating? These are things that Girls Scouts do as well as outside activities. While boys are learning survivalist training, girls are learning to be more well rounded, it's just who we are by nature. So if you are a father and wondering why your daughter's troop is not as enthusiastic about outdoor activities, maybe you need to fill the void and help the girls become excited about it or start a troop that only does outdoor activities! That's my sound off for the day!!
