Why were the Red Feathers so mean to the other troops? When I was a girl scout, we all loved and respected each other regardless of what troops we were in. The Red Feathers were just nasty especially to Troop Beverly Hills...

Same reason why the guys in the other dojo were mean to the Karate Kid. They had a bad leader teaching them to have a bad attitude.

Exactly: Velda's daughter was in the troop, and she HATED Troop Beverly Hills, so she probably told the troop girls mean things about Beverly Hills, but Velda's daughter isn't entirely to blame here...she was just used as a pawn pretty much.

It was pretty funny when her own daughter just left her there when she was hurt, LOL!

I want to know why so many of the Red Feathers were so masculine. High percentage of lesbionics in Culver City!

Velda trained her daughter and the other girls in that troop to be 'mean' to others at all times. It's the opposite of the girl scout promise which mentions helping people at all times. Velda's training did backfire though bc the troop she led abandoned her and the director of the organization fired her.

Actually, considering how she was acting (and probably earlier) Velda should have been let go from the Wilderness Girls. What we saw in the movie was only the most 'recent incidents' of her not getting along with/helping others. She misused her power.
