Why Your Girl Scout Troop Is Like Your Family

"I will do my best ... to be a sister to every Girl Scout"

Why Your Girl Scout Troop Is Like Your Family
sharielf

After all that time you spent growing up together, you knew you were more than friends—you were sisters.

You're still finding old pictures mixed in with family photos

It's a literal trip down memory lane

Your troop leaders were basically your Moms.

Mostly figuratively, but sometimes literally.

You knew everyone’s food preferences.

Dietary preferences, allergies, who likes and dislikes what—name it, and you know who ate it.

Sometimes, younger siblings did hang out with the troop.

And it was pretty cool.

You went through some crazy stuff together.

But between growing up together, sleeping in tents in the pitch black, or walking through a haunted house, you knew your fellow troop members always had your back.

You embarrassed each other endlessly.

But it was in the most loving way possible and the love and encouragement shown through when you needed it most.

You made a lot of awesome memories together.

How could you not after all those songs you sang while tramping through the woods or while sitting by the campfire?

You probably ended up twinning at some point.

Especially with all those shirts you got from selling cookies.

In fact, you probably ended up switching clothes at some point

Your wardrobe was your troop’s wardrobe.

You knew each other’s sleep schedules better than your own.

After so many overnights, you knew who was the night owl and who was the early bird.

You all made up the silliest games

Everyone was entertained during a long car ride.

You knew all about each other’s lives

And always wanted to know more about that “date” last Friday!

You were BFFs then

You may have had some minor rows, but you got through them!

You’re still the best of friends now!

Even after all this time, you know you can call each other up to make some more awesome memories, because once a girl scout, always a girl scout!

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
