As a former Girl Scout, there are a few important things to know: the Girl Scout Promise and Girl Scout Lawt, all the camp songs and the perfect pitch for selling Girl Scout cookies in your town.

We still know the Girl Scout Law, we haven’t forgotten the lyrics (and accompanying dance steps) to “Make New Friends” and we’ll always remember ringing the neighbors' doorbells with a Brownie sash on, ready to recite why they needed at least 20 boxes of Thin Mints.
