I was never a Boy Scout. Wasn't the cool thing to do among my friends. I AM a Girl Scout. I joined when my daughter became one (Mrs. Ozzie was already a Girl Scout from her childhood). Mrs. Ozzie was a troop leader, and was her mother when Mrs. Ozzie was a GS.

Today, I just eat the cookies!

I was a Girl Scout. I went from Brownies to Junior to Cadette when I lived in Durham.

I still have my Girl Scout uniform and my badge sash. I could fit in that uniform until I was 30 and got pregnant.

I was a cubscout and was on my ... then I found some balloons in my Dad's drawers all wrapped in nice lil packages and my friends and I played with them for a bit, everyone got a take home gift, then 1 kid took to school to show his balloon off and I got called into the principals office and got paddled

and was a discredit to the patrols, so I was asked to tender my early resignation!

I've never liked balloons since..... ;)

I made it to Life (one level below Eagle), then we moved yet again and I never went back to Scouting.

No. I loathed the idea of wearing a uniform. I still do.

Sounds like you could have been one of my kids.

I was a Brownie and flew up. Then we flew the coop and moved. Never attended another Girl Scout meeting.

I was a boy scout for a few years - didn't last long.

Too young for that.

And sideburns, too.

That...is...the...best...story...ever! Why haven't we heard that one before!? ;) Good goin',

.

I was a cub scout for a couple years, but being a military brat, we moved a lot, so I lost it after a move. I'm enjoying attending Tiger Scouts with my son, though. We didn't have Tiger Scouts when I was a kid. It's for the first graders, and the dads go to everything to help them out. Oh, and now they have these totally blinged out belt loops the kids can earn for achievements. They're like little rectangles that go around the belt and have an image of the achievement. They are gold for academic, and silver for athletic. I think wearing the belt with the bling is my son's favorite part.

I sure did eat a lot of Girl Scout cookies.

NOTE: It's that time of the year again!!
