And here we hang with baited breath waiting for the message.

Not that I know very much about Girl Scouts. Still as I am here why are there Girl Scouts and Girl Guides? Were they always Girl Scouts?

Most of the Girl Guide leaders I met were tough old birds that I sure as heck didn't want to get on the wrong side of.

Ah, the checkered past of the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts in America. Lord Baden-Powell asked Juliet Gordon-Lowe to marry him, but word has it she responded, Oh Bobby, you need a proper english girl to marry, not a divorced American. So, she broke B-P's heart and went back to Savannah. B-P did recover nicely however, marrying a proper English girl. But the relationship between the Girl and Boy scouts has never been smooth, I guess you could say it mirrors the relationship between males and females everywhere, with some noted exceptions

ummm.....this was a *test* message...folks, I like you lots, but are we so enthralled with one another that even a test message draws our interest? :))

 

Forgive me, I now can't even remember what the heck my original posting was even about...it was 2 am.

 

Weirdly, GSUSA makes a point of communicating how unhappy Juliette was in her marriage to William Low, but doesn't even make mention of her turning down Lord Robert Baden Powell. I think her life story has been told this way in every edition of GSUSA handbooks I've seen.

 

Anne, who played the role of Lord Robert Baden Powell in a playlet put on by her troop for Juliette Low's Bday (is that so wrong?) in Minneapolis
