Anyone have any experience with the Brownies?

Posted on 11/18/2005 10:05:30 AM PST by Maceman

My 7-year-old daughter recently asked if she could join the Brownies like some of her friends.

I am inclined not to let her join, because my understanding is that the Brownies (and the Girl Scouts) are not what they were when I was growing up in the 1950s.

Still, I hate to deprive my daughter of a valuable experience with her friends.

The fact is, I really don't know much about the Brownies, since I was a Cub Scout (and Boy Scout) back in the days when we were allowed to proudly wear our uniforms in school, replete with the requisite Cub Scout/Boy Scout knives dangling from our belts.

Any parents have any experience with the modern Brownies? Have they completely adopted the Progressive agenda, and what is the Brownie experience like these days?

Thanks for you help.

Sure you did.

No no no, really.

Truly I did.

OMG

And that was you, too.

Now I feel all dirty, but know that endless showering will never make me clean again.

(PS: Nice skirt)

Gee, when I saw the thread title my first thought was "I like mine underbaked with lots of chocolate icing".

That's the same thing I thought.

Only maybe in a slightly different way.
