You wear the badge to let people know that you are prepared and willing to be called on because you are a Girl Scout.
When I was little, people fattened and then slaughtered their own Thanksgiving turkeys.
Ours is a circle of friends united by ideals.
I was constantly coming home with stray dogs, cats and even horses. Sometimes they weren't strays, but I felt that their owners were neglecting them.
And Girl Scouting is not just knowing... but doing... not just doing, but being.
I had my favorite watch on most days. The fact that it only had one hand, and couldn't really tell the time, never really bothered me.
Every badge you earn is tied up to your motto.
