last time I made a "scout" thread..

And the cookies aren't even that good any longer.

I want to die with a thin mint in my mouth.

I swear, I think they put crack in those things. People would buy 5 boxes at a time! Had one fellow buy a whole case!

Personally, I think all the cookies taste as good or better than they ever did. Samoas and Tagalongs are my favs as well. But now you can get them for half the price at the grocery store. Kiebler makes most of them, they taste pretty dang similar.

Since I quit as a GS leader, I vow to just shove 5 bucks in the tip jar and skip the cookies. The kids keep 100% of your tips!

All these stories of girls who never got to camp are so sad. I took freaking kindergarten and 1st graders to camp. In the woods. With bugs and dirt and all of it. My girls had a blast. But then I let them pick activities. Thats supposed to be the point, to let the girls do things they want, not arts and crafts time. But I know it's common. My co leader, totally useless woman, fought everything I tried to do. She just wanted arts and crafts time for her own kid. Upper leadership was mostly overwhelmed and refused to help.

I think it's kinda hilarious that GS is going to be the gender bias one here. Lets not forget, though, that BS is at it's very heart a religious foundation. Christianity is built in. This is the one thing I liked about GS. They did not care about my religion or lack thereof.
