someone on facebook posted this intending it to be negative but instead it’s INCREDIBLE. go girl scouts

#NOT ONLY ARE WE MORALLY RIGHT BUT ALSO WE HAVE DELICIOUS COOKIES SUCK IT ASSHOLES

God I hope this is all true because if so EXTRA THIN MINTS FOR ME THIS YEAR.

As a former Girl Scout and volunteer let me tell you what your cookies really support: YOUR COMMUNITY

• Despite a national face each troop must support them selves. Lets face it s’mores and GORP supplies are not cheap. Part of the funds from cookies goes directly to the troop.
• The other part goes to the local girl scout camps, lets face it we need those open spaces to play in.
• What a troop does depends alot on the leaders, be they women or man. (Note to the fellows: to be a GS leader you have to have another leader who is female.) 
• The Journey books are not required for earning badges, they are a recommended tool. You could have a troop that doesn’t do badges.
• ITS ABOUT THE “Promise” and the “Law”. It must fit with in the ideals of making the world a better place and helping people out- and guess what we are all people, weather we are: Marxist, Jewish, Muslim, American, Poor, Conservative, Lesbians, Chinese  Young, Trans-gender,Old, Christian, Buddhist   A-sexual, Egyptian, Rich, Punk rock, Tree-hugging, free thinking or just plain odd.

The Girl Scout Promise

On my honor, I will try:
To serve God* and my country,
To help people at all times,
And to live by the Girl Scout Law.

The Girl Scout Law

I will do my best to be
honest and fair,
friendly and helpful,
considerate and caring,
courageous and strong, and
responsible for what I say and do,
and to
respect myself and others,
respect authority,
use resources wisely,
make the world a better place, and
be a sister to every Girl Scout.

I’ll be it the “Law” has been refreshed a bit over the years. But the merit/aim is the same. The promise is always the same. (at least as far as I know) Oh and we are always prepared ;)

The Girl Scout Law (as I remember late 80’s- early 00s)

I will do my best to be
honest and fair,
friendly and helpful,
considerate and caring,
courageous and strong
and responsible for what I say and do,
(I’ll remember-?) to
respect myself and others (and the world around me<- added late 90s i think)
To be a friend and sister to every Girl Scout and animal.

The Girl Scout Law (old Ver- can’t read the date and don’t wanna kill the framing) 

1. A  girl scout’s honer is to be trusted.
2. A  girl scout is loyal.
3. A  girl scout’s duty is to be useful and to help others.
4. A  girl scout is a friend and sister to every other girl scout
   
5. A  girl scout  is courtious
6. A  girl scout is a friend to animals
7. A  girl scout  obeys orders
8. A  girl scout is cheerful
9. A  girl scout is thrifty
10. A  girl scout is clean is thought, word, and deed. 

* The word “God” can be interpreted in a number of ways, depending on one’s spiritual beliefs. When reciting the Girl Scout Promise, it is okay to replace the word “God” with whatever word your spiritual beliefs dictate.
