What sweet photos! I never joined brownies or Girl Scouts, but sometimes I wish I had. Thanks for sharing!

Wow! What an amazing opportunity! I didn't have that type of bonding experience in my youth, I can only imagine how cool it was to meet up again after all that time! I'm so glad you had the opportunity and that it was such a great time!

These Girl Scout photos bring back fond memories. Sadly our Cadettes leader was not so accepting of the 2 Jewish members in our troop. Girls all quit scouts after 8th grade because the Cadettes leader was so uppity and intolerent.

Oh my! What a terrible example that leader set!

You were so lucky to find good friends through Brownies and Girl Scouts. I hated Brownies, I was never the kid who was included, always the one who was excluded. I didn't stick with it for longer than a year. Meeting with old and good friends was a perfect reason to take a strike.
