Pat's thread about the cookies prompted this thread...


just wondering if anyone here was ever a brownie /girl scout?  Did you go out and sell cookies (or did your mom do it for you?)

Let me put it this way. . .

I brought home the form for being a Brownie when I was in 2nd grade. My mother took me out to buy a uniform and book and sent me on my merry way to Girl Scouts which was held at school in the afternoon. She was NEVER involved. She NEVER even attended the meetings or picnics and bitched about dues. Short and sweet, she was uninvolved in my interests (that includes attending band/chorus concerts and she didn't even want to come to my high school graduation).

Sold cookies? No

Did you save all of your badges, Von?

I have my daughter's vests with the badges/pins and my son's shirts with his badges and pins. ;-)

Let's just say, back when I was young enough to be a Girl Guide, I was more into Boy Scout kinds of things LOL!

I was both a Brownie and then a Girl Scout. What I liked the most was doing the requirements in the GS
