As I was looking over the 'Let hear your fantasy' thread, coupled with some of the threads about first item of girls clothes you ever tried one, I got to thinking about things that were my fantasies long ago and far away when it was all so shiny and new.
I wanted SOOOOO much to wear a girl scout uniform! I think one of the catalogues we used get, Sears maybe, had the uniforms in them, and I used to sit and dream about wearing one, and saved cut outs from the pages in a scrap book. Something about being a girl scout just seemed like it would be so much nicer than being a boy scout.
My mum had been a girl scout leader, well not troop leader but helper back around when I was 5 and this left a mark an impression on me. As I mentioned in the 5 things thread, I got to go on a local childrens TV show with the girl scouts, and the whole time wanted to be dressed like one of the brownies. Of course I couldn't talk about this to anyone. But it stayed with me.
So, when I was a teen and actively CDing, being a girl scout was the goal. I got my mum's old leader books and started memorising the law:
On my honor, I will try:
To serve God and my country,
To help people at all times,
And to live by the Girl Scout Law.
I studied the stuff about what the girl scouts did for badges. I made up an imaginary troop! Still -- I was so sad that I never could get a uniform.
I was however totally in awe, when -- oh well I was forced in the boy scouts -- and at a hallowen party some of the boys came in girl scout uniforms. I was green as the uniform with envy! That party has never left my memory.
SO -- the question is -- did any of you ever get to dress as a girl scout or girl guide as a teen?
If you did -- know that I am in total envy! - but still want you to tell me about it
