We have taken those questions into account. I don't really like girls and boys divided so much but in this case I think it's a good idea. Most girls in G-House don't want to join. Why? They say girls can't do those type of things. I try to tell them otherwise though. I've been on the team three years now and I love it. I especially love showing people that I can get something done, boys aren't needed all the time. I think if girls see that we can get things done they will change their minds. They might be more likely to join if there's an all girls team.

I don't think a lot of team members are needed on a team. Two years ago we had the least about of members, 10. Yet, we got everything done. We did whatever we had to do because it was the most important thing to us.

It's a shame they're so reserved about joining a team that is predominantly males =\ i know we have a lot of kids on our team.... i can't spit out an accurate number, but i know it's more than seventeen, and we only have 5 girls. I sort of get a sense of pride in being able to work with the boys you know? Part of the reason i love first so much is because of all the awesome people you meet, that you may not have spoken to before. You wouldn't get that with an all girls team, i don't think. Even if there were enough girls to support a second team.... i feel like that many girls would just cause drama o.o; sorry if that's stereotypical but i'm a girl too so whatever.
