I was never a Boy Scout, but oh, I wanted to be one when I was a kid about ten or eleven years old. But there wasn't anyplace where I could ever join the Boy Scouts.
If America taught me anything, it's that quitting is right up there with pissing in the Girl Scouts' lemonade jar.
Make good scouts of yourselves, become good rifle shots so that if it becomes necessary that you defend your families and your country that you can do it.
At Girl Scouts, we create leaders.
You're talent, and we're the talent scouts.
I had run away from home three times. I had been kicked out of three different schools under different circumstances. I was kicked out of everything that I didn't quit. Kicked out of schools. Kicked out of summer camp, the Boy Scouts, the altar boys, the choir, and something else that I can't think of, that I'm proud of. Anyway, that was my pattern. I just began to invent myself early in life, and went out and did something about it.
Girl Scouts is a girl-serving organization, so our members are girls.
The [scouts] could lend an authenticity that's even beyond what we had on the page.
I'd like to have stayed in the Scouts beyond the age of 12.
When I was in Boy Scouts, back in the day, we'd tell stories around the campfire. That's why I love movies. It's literally you and your friends, telling stories around a campfire, whatever they may be.
When I was 12 years old, I read Nancy Drew mysteries and biographies of Madame Curie and Florence Nightingale and books about girls who love horses or go to nursing school. I belonged to the Girl Scouts and got A's in school and rarely disobeyed my parents. I still kept a collection of Barbie dolls in my room, and I almost never spoke to boys.
No other youth group like the Scouts has trained so many future leaders while at the same time being a nature organization with its outdoor focus.
Girl scouts didn't teach me what to do with emotionally unstable drunk boys.
The Girl Scouts is an organization that constantly gives you new goals to achieve and that's what life is all about.
I was always a very indoor videogame nerd movie buff. . . Now I've come to appreciate Scouts and the outdoors.
How did Mike Bibby get on the team? Any Cub Scout with Boy Scouts can do Boy Scoutish things. When Bibby was in the Cub Scouts, he was a Cub Scout. When he was with Vancouver, nobody heard about him. Now that he's with Sacramento. . . he's on the team. I ain't going.
. . . she yanked open her shoulder bag and pulled out a stake. Boy Scouts and vampire slayers should always be prepared.
Being in the army is like being in the Boy Scouts, except that the Boy Scouts have adult supervision.
I am struck by how many leading women. . . today started as Girl Scouts. It is an organization that obviously develops strong women leaders.
At Girl Scouts, we are committed to raising awareness about the terrible effects of cyber bullying, and to teaching girls how to recognize the signs of bullying of any sort and extricate themselves or another from a bad situation before it spirals out of control and ends in tragedy.
