I am trying to get my daughter into Scouting. She joined a Brownie troop, got her books, numbers, pins and all the other things she needs.
Two weeks ago they had an outing that my daughter was invited to. She paid the entrance fee and had a great time.
I have not heard anything from them other than the notifications on Facebook for the upcoming meeting times.
The leader was at my place of work tonight and told me how the girls need to decide by Sunday what country they want to do for World Friendship day. The next meeting I was invited to was not until Sept. 10th. I find out after I get home from work that they have an event tonight at a baseball game where they will discuss this. I was only not notified on Facebook but she was standing right in front of me and didn't mention the game.
I could understand if it was an oversight but I specifically asked how the girls are going to vote on an events decision when they don't have a meeting until the 10th. All I received for an answer was a bunch of mumbling.
I guess I am just saddened that this happened. I did tell the troop leader that we were not of a traditional religion and I hope that would not be held against her.
I guess it was.
So, should we just forget about Scouting or try to find a more tolerant group?
