Were you a Girl or Boy Scout?  

I do not think you were a weird kid, we all liked that jumper and the cookie sales. I think the cookie sales might have made us feel a little grown up selling them to adults and taking the money. I liked going house to house the way we did as kids. Today they do not do that, they sell them in public areas. It is safer that way for the kids I guess. Thanks for your response and have a great day. Keep buying those thin mints too.

I agree with you, a good leader is a must for the scouts. They need to keep the kids active physically and mentally. It must have made you and your Mom closer since both of you were a part of the scouts, great memories. The cookies are over priced now, but I will still buy them in support. We also used to have a bake sale a few times of the year and maybe a car wash to help our troop out. I am not too sure if the scouts still do that. Thank you for your response and have a great day.

I wish I could have continued in the scouts a few more years. The fun was really only beginning when I had to leave and I only went on one camping trip. I felt like I was really cool in the uniform and selling the cookies. I have some good memories and I always support the scouts now too. Thanks for yoye response and have a great new year and hope your Christmas was great too.

It is good that you take your sons camping. It is a great experience for all involved and teaches more than most would think. I have always felt that a true camper can survive in most situations. The stance that the scouts have about homosexuality is a tough one to swallow. Most people are afraid of homosexuality before they try to understand it. Thanks for your response and happy camping.

I loved girl scouts and the memories I still have. It was a great learning experience too. I learned a lot about myself as well as others all over the world. I think most kids should go into the scouts. Thanks for responding and have a great day.

Camping was one of my favorite things to do when I was a scout. It was never easy putting up our tents and lean-tos that we made. I have been caught in the rain camping and it is no fun if the tent and everything in it gets all wet. It makes for a long weekend.

The scouts teaches us many things in life. I am sure it has made you a better and stronger person for the Silent Driller. I may not have completed all the Girl Scout steps but it did go into the cadets later in life and then had a summer with the Coast Guard Cadets as well. Thanks for responding and stay proud.

Thanks for your response. Are you still in the scouts? How long have you been a scout and what do you like about being a girl scout? I loved the camping and the other outings we used ot have and going to camp to meet other scouts and to have fun. I also liked the crafts we had.
