Does this bother anybody else? I understand that we are all busy. But, all Im trying to do is find a girl scout troop for my daughter to go to.Last year she was a Daisy. I had asked the Daisy leader if she was going to do it again this year for when they become Brownies. She at first said, she didnt know, but as the months past she said yes. She took all of our registration money for this coming year. I have heard nothing from her. I called her, and left her a message last week, no phone call. Then last Friday I called the girlscout counsil office. I left a message, again no phone call back. I just now left ANOTHER message.. I dont know why this annoys me so much,but it does. If you work in the girlscout office, and that is your job to let people know about troops available, how hard is it to call somebody back.UGH.. sorry.. just frustrated right now with this all.

I totally understand- this is one of my big pet peeves also! I hate not receiving a return phone call- especially from a business! That is there job!
Hopefully they will call you soon!

I am going through this same thing with boyscouts. Both my boys want to join but I can't get anyone to return my calls so I can find out where they meet and pay the fees and etc. I am just tired of trying and about ready to give up.

This is my BIGGEST pet peeve. Several of my friends know it and will call me to tell me that they aren't going to call me or that they can't talk. lol....

Ticks me off, too! I've had a call in to our wheelchair repair guy for at least a week, and haven't heard back. I need a part NOW, and had to leave probably my third message today!

Grrrr! I hate it when people don't call you back! My sister has a cellphone with voicemail and a home phone with voicemail and I can call and leave messages and she never calls me back! I hate to even call her in the first place! A month or two ago, DH told me that she called. I called her and left a message. She still hasn't called me back!

Her dog died a year ago (and you can't bring that up!) and now, she just filed for divorce, but doesn't want to discuss it, so what would we talk about?

Okay...well I can give you a little girl scout help. Our council really just knows so little about what we are doing. It is structured like this, troop about 10 girls, service unit about 40 troops, area about 4 service units and then council has 20 areas. So if you want girl scout answers you need to contact your service unit. You can call council and ask for the phone number for the steering committee for your service unit, if you don't know the name, you can ask the name and then the phone number. You want to be speaking to the "membership manager" for your area. Hope that helps. No excuse not to call back, but this is a crazy busy time for girl scouts and I know I am not getting back with mine as quickly as I should.

Thanks Kaye for the info. I did finally talk to somebody. She said she would give my info the lady who runs the service unit in my area. Well I think thats what she called it.
I hate waiting for phone calls, as Im anxious to get my daughter started in it. I was never a girlscout so its fun me as well to go with her to the meetings.
