Had Scouting not been part of APO, I would not have joined. My college did
not allow Greek organizations and I had an atitude that anything with Greek
letters was a fall-down-drunk-we-do-nothing-but-party club. Then I met
Fuzz wearing and APO shirt on a cross-country train. As I was about to
completely ignore him for being "one of those drunken frat boys" he
mentioned that APO was based on Scouting. That softened me enough to
listen, become really excited to join, work an entire year to become a
Brother, start a PG, and go to a National convention where I met my now
husband. THANKS Fuzz!
As for my Girl Scout involvement now, I am an extra hand for field trips
for a Daisy/Brownie combined troop. They have yet to need me. This year's
schedule is too busy to take my own troop but I will in the future.
