100 Years of Girl Scouting!
So besides the cookies, what are your memories of Girl Scouts?
Camping and my mother’s crazy ideas about what would have made camping more fun (and then they usually failed… like making pancakes on top of coffee bean tin things), daddy daughter sock hops and dinner before with the girls from the troop at a 50’s style diner, field trips to awesome places (like the post office and limited too.), also half of my girl scout memories are the traumatic childhood memory that you look back on and laugh now…. weird.
I don’t remember much my Girl Scout years. I remember my first cookie order. I think that’s when I knew that cuteness sells and that I really like selling things. Which is one of my strong suites today. Girl Scouts taught me that. I loved my vest and my cardigan, I still have them. My troop was really cliquey and my mom couldn’t come to much because she was raising me on her own and eventually I quit because of it. My expereince was a little ala Troop Beverly Hills. She’s troop leader/cookie mom now for my little sister and is such a part of the community now. I’ve been able to do a lot of volunteer work with them and I can’t help but smile when I see all these girls who are so unique as inidividuals but are such a tough, bad-ass group. These girls did an outdoor ropes course in the middle of winter. They got chops.
I loved going to stay away camp and going to the sock hops with my dad. I also remember running around the basement of sacred heart with mu troopmates acting silly. We had so much fun and I wish interest hadn’t died out like it did
This was a hopskipjump from bethany
If you were a castle, I’d be your moat. And if you were an ocean, I’d learn to float.
This song!
