Why are you sticking by the same events you’ve done every year?
Have you tracked the number of girls participating in your events?
Have you asked why they did or did not choose to participate in an event?
Have you reviewed feedback sheets from your event?
Resistance makes us unwilling to try new things. The fear of failure always a possibility.
I have failed myself many times. Each failure is a learning experience. It strengthens your next attempt. It helps you identify the problems.
We lose so many girls as they get older. We ask why and in the same breath give the answer. There are so many choices for them from sports to social clubs. And Girl Scouts is not giving them any new possibilities or challenges.
If you are not learning new things yourself, how can you offer anything new to your girls?
This is why the Enrichment Project exists. If you haven’t tried a badge program yet, I have to ask.
Why not?
