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!

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
