Girl scout sunday

                  Just out of curiosity how many of you ladies out there were a girl scout or a troop leader or just helped out with girl scouts what ever it be transporting them to their destinations out of school or purchasing some delicious cookies?  I can answer that question, yes I was a girl scout for a couple years in elementary school and made a few good friends.  I remember doing the whole experience telling mom I wanted to be a girl scout, going to the mall to pick out my uniform, getting introduced and singing the songs and yes selling the delicious cookies.  I remember it being lots of fun but I also having down times too that I can laugh at now.  One of those memories was that I had spilled chocolate milk all over my brownie girl scout top that I was wearing one day and the lunch monitor had to help me change.  I remember it being so embarrassing.
                   Well anyway last week at church I had found out that today they were honoring girl scouts and their leaders.  The girl scouts could show up in uniform and be handed special religious metals that were blessed by the priest himself and at the end they would be selling the cookies.  Yes that's how it went today, dad picked me up and as we walked in we saw all the girl scouts in uniform of all ages and yes the mass went on as normal but the priest had one of the girls read one of the readings and after communion the girl scouts got announced and received their metals and then we were asked to applaud and prey for them.  He then asked for any other woman to stand who was formally a girl scout.
            "He said once a girl scout always a girl scout!"  Yes I did stand and it did feel good to get a round of applause even though I Don't necessarily like it lol.:)  Well better go.  I am sorry I haven't been blogging lately I have been busy but I will try a little harder since I am not facebooking at the moment.  :)    Since it's girl scout sunday I want to see if you can of my readers/ girl scouts know the words to this song.
