Any girls who are Juliettes?

That's cool. I miss my daughter being in a troop sometimes. Do you think it is better that they stay in a troop as they get older? I thought maybe the independance of being a Juliette would keep a girl in longer as they get older.

I think it would depend on the girl. Some work better on their own while others would do better in a troop setting. I do think it is a good idea for a Juliette to have group activities. I have heard of some Juliettes around here that get together every month or two and work on somethings together. Also having a trained leader is always an asset. Perhaps you could find a really good leader to bounce ideas off of. I believe as a parent of a Juliette, you can get level trainings from council. I find them very informative even to leaders who have been in Scouts for ages. Also I KNOW you can go to the area Leaders meetings so you can find out what is going on in your area.

I am acutally the Juliette Coordinator for our area. I go to all the leader meetings and my daughter does a lot of the neighborhood events and also works with a troop when she sells products and cookies. I have two other Juliettes that I keep in contact with. They have another leader that is closer to them that they refer to when it comes to badge work and such. I am trying to get the girls together to do the memorial day parade this year.
