I'm sick of the Obama/Jesse/Bernie thing, sick of dissecting Will and Jada's union and of some of the other stuff we've gone back and forth about the past few days. And instead of making up another 20 questions, I decided that I'd rather know whether you were a Girl Scout or Boy Scout and if so, what was your most vivid scouting memory?
I started in Brownies and stayed in scouting until I was a Cadet, which I believe was 5th grade. My most vivid memory was the year I sold so many cookies that I got to go to camp for a week, for free. That was a big deal to me because my mom didn't let me do many sleepovers and for me to go for a whole week? Yeah...
I remember the first day my cabinmates asked me if I was gonna go with them for the Polar Swim...SHEEE and IT!! Go jump in the lake at 6 am? I'on thank so!
I had a great time though overall and that's when I discovered how much I like canoeing. I ain't gonna lie though, it'll be a cold, cold day in shuckyduck fo I get in that dirty lake again!
I do believe that I learned quite a few life lessons while earning badges. A thousand years later, when my boys were old enough, I put them in Cub Scouts and was even a Den Leader and a Popcorn Colonel (how does that end up sounding like Kernel?) It was a disappointment of sorts because there was one male leader and the rest were women...*shrug* but what can ya do?
Tell me 'bout your experience(s) in scouting. If you weren't a scout, but wanted to be, why weren't you?
