I was a girl scout for a year. Then I wasn't. Then I wasn't again; after being a girl scout reject for thirty-six hours (because someone at the GS headquarters must have been having a long day when I called and was told that seventeen is too old to join), I am now officially a GS, picking up somewhere from when I had to quit Junior GS at age ten.
It's a little weird how much has changed since I quit. Like, now they have journeys, fewer badges, and badge books that have a serious design flaw (hint: try to fit all the skill-building badge booklets into the handbook/badgebook binder. It ain't gonna work).
To be honest, I think the journeys were designed by a drunk squirrel for all the organization in my GIRLtopia book (my troop leader added on to that "a drunk squirrel with ADHD") but at least they're eye catching. I'd think that navigability would be a little more important than catchy design, but I guess it's okay because I'm not lost yet! I'm not sure if that means I'm on the right track or I have the same kind of mind as a drunk squirrel with ADHD...
