It was really great! We had 4 girls from our troop together and were able to assist the smaller one. There were 2 items that were called for that weren’t on the list of supplies: marker and scissors—so we had to scramble for them at the end. We made it work and have no real complaints!

My daughter has really enjoyed the classes she’s taken over the past couple of weeks through Activity Hero! She has a big love for all ocean creatures, and these classes have been both engaging and fun for her. The instructors do a great job keeping kids interested and excited to learn more. We’re so happy to have found something that fuels her curiosity and passion.

It was great! My daughter loves these classes. She really enjoyed the shark class. The girls were very informative and engaging. It's getting more difficult to find online classes for older girl scouts. So we try to attend when we see them.

Hi Deborah, Thanks for your message. It depends on which program you are inquiring about. Our Young Explorers classes (3-5 year olds) require parent participation during class. Parents sometimes stay for the first week of homeschool classes, and during Girl Scout workshops as well. Parents do not stay for after-school programs, Parents' Night Out or our camps. Hopefully, I covered the program you are interested in. If not, please let me know so I can clarify. Thanks for your interest, Tonya -
