3moThank you for bringing attention to this very important issue. I do implore you to dig deeper into the practices of your troops and leaders. We left a troop and switched to your Juliette program because the girls were not welcoming to my daughter nor the leaders willing to truly understand her neurodivergence. So while this study is great, what are you doing to ensure all girls are welcomed and don’t feel lonely? Our daughter was lonely - she even knew three of the girls beforehand - but they treated her differently in the presence of other girls in the troop and one of the leaders actually made it worse. Clearly Girl Scouts USA has more work to do than offering a study and programming that isn’t being practiced.
