  • Scouts try to retain older members

    As children grow into teenagers, it can be difficult for organizations they grew up in to hold their attention.
    Angie Tinch, program delivery coordinator for the Girl Scouts’ Heartland Service Center, said girls often have a hard time staying as involved in the Scouts by the time they get to high school.
