This episode is based on a question submitted by Erica on Facebook. Erica asked: "How do you handle new girls coming into your troop part way through the season? Do you offer them the opportunity to catch up and earn patches/petals on their own time and just offer the tools or ideas for earning? Or do you just move on and they earn from when they join and forward?" The Ask Me Anything series is something I did last year in the fall, and it was super successful and got TONS of questions… I have a few I have not gotten to from the fall but I also asked again, if you could go to coffee with me and ask me anything about Girl Scouts and get my unfiltered, unrehearsed opinion, what would you want to know?  You can ask me a question in the Facebook group (www.facebook.com/girlscoutpodcast), in a private message, or by e-mailing me at [email protected].
