Everybody that I've every told this thinks I'm nuts: I was an official Girl Scout throughout high school, and I'm a guy. It was 1974â€â€1976 in Lake Forest Illinois. There were about 50% boys in the group, and, yes, we were officially sponsored by the Girl Scouts; I received invitations to events for years. Our group was involved almost entirely in rock climbing and Ski Patrol safety training. It was great, I was the leader for a couple years and I think of it often. BTW, I tried the Boy Scouts and it was a horrible experience.
