My sisters and I were Girl Scouts from Brownies all the way through senior year in high school (with a houseful of cookies every spring, plus my mother got the Leader of the Year award once). <br /><br />Your memories of camp made me cry just reading them. I still love singing in groups, and, wouldn't you know, have found my spiritual home with the Edith Maxwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01388006370860482509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8056815460076050228.post-32048246897095320952010-08-05T18:19:52.162-04:002010-08-05T18:19:52.162-04:00LOVED GS camp and loved Nancy.

In my day they were 20 cents a box and I remember when the chocolate mint ones came in, providing an alternative to the sandwich cookies. Maybe I'll blog about that one of these days. :)Elizabeth Zelvinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13944424094949207841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8056815460076050228.post-1586219434896870782010-08-05T14:14:18.639-04:002010-08-05T14:14:18.639-04:00"I bet I could build a raft if my life depend..."I bet I could build a raft if my life depended on it and I had enough twine."<br /><br />Vines or supple young branches will do in a pinch. :)<br /><br />Leslie, aka Eagle and Golden Eagle, <br />Timbercrest Girl Scout Camp (Treasure Trails Council, Montana) camper and counselor, 1969-77Leslie Budewitzhttp://lawandfiction.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8056815460076050228.post-11413894895301942732010-08-05T14:12:22.101-04:002010-08-05T14:12:22.101-04:00You mentioned a lot of my happy memories of Scouti...You mentioned a lot of my happy memories of Scouting—and brought up more reasons for today's girls to be Scouts instead of cheerleaders or majorettes those life lessons that were fun while learning them which continue to be useful.<br /><br />As to your abandoned camp story, I have a nicer one.
