My Girl Scout troop will be attending a workshop in a few months.  It is an
official Girl Scout event put on by a Senior Girl Scout troop.  The general
rule, at these events, is that siblings are not allowed.  I spoke with the
senior troop leader about one of our leaders bringing her breastfeeding
baby.    She felt it was reasonable that a breastfeeding baby be allowed to
stay with it's mother, but she couldn't find a loophole that would prevent
other mothers from complaining that their children (siblings of scouts who
are not breastfeeding) could not stay.  She has been a troop leader for 25
years and this has never come up.  I told her that I would do some
research.  We hope to get something officially on the books that would
create a loophole for breastfeeding babies.

I would appreciate any and all information on how to get started with a
proposal.
