And Girl Scouting is not just knowing... but doing... not just doing, but being.

You wear the badge to let people know that you are prepared and willing to be called on because you are a Girl Scout.

A Girl Scout saves, as she spends, on some system.

The first woman I approached tried to tell me she wasn't interested. I pretended that my deafness prevented me from hearing her refusals.

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.

A badge is a symbol that you have done the thing it stands for often enough, thoroughly enough, and well enough to BE PREPARED to give service in it.

This badge is not a reward for something you have done once or for an examination you have passed.

Badges are not medals to wear on your sleeve to show what a smart girl you are.

Against the advice of my friends, I decided to contest the will.and eventually I won a $500,000 settlement.
