Tell that to the reporters who wrote the articles I've seen over the years, in more than one town. As I remember, the amounts of the scholarships were pretty low ($1000 or so), to be put in trust for the kid until she reached college age. As seems to need to be said often on this forum, just 'cause you've never seen something doesn't mean it's "impossible," only that you haven't seen it. Heck, it may even be *against* official Girl Scout policy for all I know...I wasn't ever one. The closest I ever got was at summer camp once, where we had the Boy Scout camp on one side of the lake and the Girl Scout camp on the other side. One of the only merit badges I ever earned was for swimming. :-) Unc > > Mea culpa if I mistook what has definitely been a local > > policy, possibly sponsored by local Girl Scout supporters, > > for the national one.
