I am a Leader...not an advisor, for Cadette Troop #57 in Whitehall, PA. I an so upset with this Studio 2B program and I do not believe that it is scouting. Everything that I love about scouting is not part of this program...for starters, the charms! I have written a letter to council and I will be mailing this out this week. If you too are not fond of this program, please as a sister scout, tell council! I have been a leader for 10 years, this is my 11th. I was a girl for 10 years also. The troop that I lead is my troop as a Cadette. I have no daughters and I am doing this because I truly love scouting. I am writing this letter to council, because the woman that I had as my leader, friend and mentor, MaryEllen Kulhamer, (whom suddenly passed away in May of 2004) taught me, my opinion matters, I am the future and with that I can change the world. If one woman can rally enough for the right to vote, why can't we stand tall and keep scouting a tradition, the tradition that we know for all of these years?
After reading the above comments, I see that I am not alone in the way that I think of this program. If anyone would like support on also writing a letter to council, would like a copy of the letter that I am sending, or just need someone to vent, I would love to hear from you. Please email me and hopefully we can have power in numbers.
Wishing you all success with your troops and enjoyment with the girls that help us to love what we do!
