You were rewarded with prizes and smiles for one, rather than the promise of a paradise.
Whats wrong with a promise of a better life hun? wouldn't you welcome positve and lasting changes? I know you would.

Nothing is wrong with a promise of a better life...except when it's a huge stinking lie.

No girlscouts is a no no.
I'm probably going to get my daughters involved with spiral scouts, which is basically a very similar thing, but it is geared for pagan parents.

Some of the things I have seen in the news regarding the girl/boy scouts has concerned me. I believe there was an instance or there is a rule that homosexuals cannot be leaders. Plus, I get a very strong Christian vibe from it, which I don't believe is Wrong, we just aren't raising our kids along those lines and felt that spiral scouts would be a better choice.

They're trying to expand. Just heard a clip on NPR about GS troops that are wholy muslim and how the troop activities are structured around the girls' faith.

Sweetie, you know I did! I got fed up with unfulfilled promises.
BSOM--I forgot about the whole god thing w/the girlscouts. I'll take a look at the Spiral Scouts.
At every meeting, we also would recite the girl scout pledge:
"On my honor, I will try, toserve God, and our country, to help others something something, and to live by the girl scout law."
I don't know how I remember this!

I wanted to join the Boy Scouts, but because the meetings were held in a Catholic Church, my mom wouldn't allow me to attend.

Boy Scouts and Firearms
·
Boy’sLife, a monthly magazine of the Boy Scouts of America, features 10-percent advertising for firearms and shells. Around Christmastime, the proportion is much greater, because, according to Associate Publisher Edward L. Kern, rifles are a ‘big seasonal selling item.’ December’s issue carried pictures of twenty-six different weapons, each glorifying trigger-pulling. Young boys are told to get their family to buy them a rifle. Fathers are also appealed to; one advertisement reads, "Remember your first 22? Make a kid happy this Christmas." There were also ads for knives that snap open with the flick of a finger, a 24-pound navy cannon replica that "really shoots" and a midget pistol that fires tiny high-compression blanks. Out of twenty-seven ad pages, eight were devoted to lethal weapons and ammunition. Scout officials claim that, since "firearms are here to stay," gun training and safety are important so boys that pick up a rifle will know "which end is which."
