Should I help out the leader for my daughters girl scout troop?

Tweet

Now heres the details. My daughter joined a troop back in September. At the time the leader didn't have a co-leader because she only had a few girls. My daughter offered me up as a co-leader any ways and at the time I had said sure I wouldn't mind doing it, but my work comes first so even though I attend ALL events I would have to miss the occasional meeting due to my work schedule. She said she would get me the paper work and the training information on the classes/meetings I needed to attend to be a leader/co-leader. Now she never did get me any of this information at all even though I had asked, we discussed and several times she told me that she would. Then one of the mothers that she is good friends with became the co-leader without attending any trainings at all. So for several months this other mother (whom I adore, our daughters are in the same class in school and we became friends due to all the involvement in our daughters lives we see each other so much.) the other mother has been the unoffical co-leader of the group helping the leader out with everything. I keep offering to help with things but they always tell me the have it under control. (then seem to make a point of going on and on and on about ALL the hard work THEY put into the troop. Which in itself is a whole diffrent disscussion and annoying! haha) Now the other mother's husband is in the military and they are going to be relocated in the first weeks of Feburary. Which is very sad since we have grown close so quickly! She will be missed. Today at meeting the discussion got started as to what the leader will do when this other mother is gone. Who will help her out so much and be the co-leader? The leader informally announced that it will be me and one of the other moms sharing the task or if nothing else at least me. Of course the other mother being nominated with me pipes in that she will help out as much as needed but I would be the better choice beccause I am really good with all the kids and can think quicker with the group and rangle them all in quicker than she can. (In other words I can control and get them under control better.) Now that I've been long winded and giving you some of the important details... At this point should I say okay and step in if they really need me...or tell them sorry I don't want to? It's not really that I don't want to. I actually have alot of fun with the girls and would actually rather have my own troop (be a leader) and this is easier if you co-lead a troop first then branch off and get your own. I wouldn't be taking any of her girls, there are plenty on the waiting list for this area just wishing to get into troops, but we don't have enough leaders. But I also feel like I am just a second or third chioce...because I'm there and she has to have one...sorta deal. After all she was the one that never got me the info...and even though I email her and call her...she doesn't seem to be in touch with me much and acts like she can't get ahold of me. (she recently told someone she couldn't get ahold of me last week even though we had sent emails back and forth a couple times and talked in person last week.) I want to say yes becuase my daughter would want me to do it...and I would have fun doing it. But then I would also like to say no to make a point. When I wanted to I was blown off and forgotten...and now that its needed I'm suddenly remembered again. What do you think? Should I do it...or blow them off the way they did me?
