[Midlodemocrat]

to subject myself to that particular form of Girl Scout Torture.

1. 'Thinking Day'?

WTF is THINKING DAY??111

[LostinVA]

2. I was in the Scouts for many, many years and never heard of it

It must be new.

7. Where was your council?

Thinking Day has been a part of Girl Scouts for almost ever. Not just national but international for all Scouts and Guides.

9. NJ -- uh oh -- I need to ask my mom about this

She was my Girl Scout leader.

11. I remember Thinking Day from when I was a Girl Scout

a good 45 years ago. Then I was a leader from 74 to 92. Gotta say, they all seem to run together.

4. All the troops pick a country and do research on it.

then they wear something representative, (like BabyMidlo's troop picked Chile, so they are wearing ponchos) and make some food representative for the other kids to eat.

As a mom, you have to walk around and ooh and aah at everyone and what they're wearing and what they brought to share to eat and I'd rather stay home and drink wine.


YIPPEEE for troop leaders who only have one child!!!!

:bounce:

6. What food did they make?

Chili?

[Midlodemocrat]

8. HAHA. Some type of cookie.

She LOVES Scouts. The troop leader is a good friend of mine and VERY liberal, so they do a ton of good things like visiting the nursing homes, collecting food for the food bank, etc.

And, she just loves it, so that is a major bonus.

10. Oh! We did that -- I don't remember it being called that

3. Shouldn't everyday be "thinking day?"

[Midlodemocrat]

5. One would hope, but remember. This is a red state.
