Paige,
I spent several years in the Scouts and struggled with many aspects of
the program. I was pretty successful at selling cookies however. My biggest
problem was finding someone to partner with. They would send us out in
pairs, one of us would go to one house, the other to the house next door.
None of my able-bodied friends wanted to go with me once they discovered
that I could make sales to people who had refused to buy from them only a
few minutes earlier. The adults in my neighborhood just couldn't say no to
a little girl with braids, a Scout uniform, forearm crutches and leg braces.

inclusion wasn't a popular thing! Whatever badge they were after to get-
I'd say haalf at least I couldn't achieve partly due to the CP! It was
discouraging. Conformity- ah- no- ya make up your own rules! Least that's
what I did! LOL And I ALWAYS won the 1st prize for selling the most
cookies. I just called people I knew- but my father took the order forms to
work- he worked for a huge bank in Chicago- so ..........Girl Scouts wasn't
"fun". And Brownies are too long ago to remember! LOL
