I recently asked the Facebook group (facebook.com/girlscoutpodcast) - "If you could ask me anything and get my opinion or thoughts about it in an episode, what would it be?" & you guys delivered! 

Today's episode is about the following question submitted by listener Ellen:

"What to do as an isolated troop with little to no SU or Council support/presence I'm the ONLY troop in my town, my SU has 3 troops, and council has no presence in our region"

Here are my thoughts!

I recently asked the Facebook group (facebook.com/girlscoutpodcast) - "If you could ask me anything and get my opinion or thoughts about it in an episode, what would it be?" & you guys delivered! 

Today's episode is about question from Marcie. She asks: "How to be accepting of an LGBTQ troop member if there is concern about inappropriate physical behavior and/or romantic relationships between troop members. How to make it safe (emotionally, physically) for every Girl Scout. What about during overnights? Camping?"

This is a loaded topic, my friends, but we're digging in!

Long time listener, first time caller! Today we are catching up with Jennifer M., a troop leader from GSKMO. She's a big fan of the podcast, and she's applied a lot of the things we talk about here on the podcast in addition to her own unique experience and mindset. Listen in for a case study on how to lead a troop true to the principles of GSLE. You also won't want to miss Jennifer's incredible tips about running a high-impact troop with a small budget.

Today's troop leader interview is featuring Lorren from Eastern South Carolina. She's sharing how her troop of Junior & Cadette "misfits" came to be and how they operate to keep the girls in Scouting. She's also sharing a crazy childhood memory from Girl Scouts that is going to blow your mind to think about from a parent or troop leader perspective. Times have changed!

Every single time I get to do an interview for this podcast, I find myself thinking, "That was so fun, that was one of my best episodes."

Today's episode is about a topic I've heard from SO MANY of you... how to approach disruptive behavior and discipline in a troop environment.

I know I have described this as more or less a coffee chat, but this really felt like a big topic that warranted bringing in an expert. So I'm excited to welcome special guest, Anna Skates, to the podcast. She calls herself a Conscious Parenting Coach and she has this radical idea that kids are... people.
