My kids were scouts until my son felt compelled to quit after the anti gay incident prompted by the Mormon Church. My daughter ran an group for the girl scouts which consisted of 150 differently abled girls

Good for your son! Good for you daughter! And a big pat on the back to you and their mom for raising such great kids!

The leader of my daughter's troop does training/ team building/ motivational speaking for a living, so she's ALL about activities that foster empowerment, cooperation, and creativity.
