This organization hasn't been called 'Birch Trails' in a few years. Now they're 'Girl Scouts of the Northwestern Great Lakes' -- with a much larger territory, a new CEO, and several people promoted into management positions who shouldn't be, while many fantastic employees were forced out under dubious circumstances. They are no longer concerned with what is best for GIRLS -- it's all about numbers (both in membership and, especially, MONEY). While I still believe in the mission of Girl Scouts, I won't allow my child to be a member of this organization anymore (she was told if she didn't sell at least 250 boxes of cookies, she would be kicked out of her troop -- and the "council" backed her leader up!) Our area lost our wonderful membership manager when she was fired, and the new one brought in (who only works part-time) is so bullied by her "supervisor" that she is afraid to do anything without permission. This used to be a wonderful organization. It's really sad.
