Not Just For Lesbians Anymore!

January 11, 2017

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

Girl Scouting provided the structure for an often chaotic childhood for me. Wherever my mother moved me, Scouting was a rock-solid, stabile influence, especially summer resident camp. I went to camp every year, went through the CIT program and worked at various positions at camp into my mid-30s. It was a liberal upbringing. I learned that everyone is of equal value and importance. I worked at camp with blue hair in 1984, back when people threw things out their car windows at me. But, at camp, and in Scouting in general, I was accepted. And I accepted. Everyone else So, when I saw this book, lesbian or not, I said: these are my people! And they are. Those with good experiences and those with bad, they are my sister Scouts and I embrace them and this book enthusiastically. I highly recommend it to anyone fully immersed in the Scouting experience. (Whether GSUSA endorses it or not!)

Also, the copy I received was signed by the author. You might inquire of the seller if this is important to you.

Finally a GLBT book I can relate to!

November 12, 2007

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

Finally a GLBT book that I actually could see myself reflected in! I must have read thirty of them over the last few years. This book had people who had experiences like mine were when I was younger. I was seriously starting to think that I was the ONLY person who had my experiences which were unremarkable and astonishingly normal.

This book was AWESOME. Anyone involved in girl scouting should read it. Everyone should read it. There were some really fantastic and inspiring stories in it, and there were also some really depressing ones as well, as there will be in any book like this. If it were written and just left out the downsides and the bad cases it wouldn't be fair and true.

There were a few places in this book where I actually cried. But what really struck me most was the fact that I could see myself ten years ago IN THESE STORIES. I could actually identify with some of these women. That's never really happened before when I've read other glbt books.

I'm going to treasure this book forever. I actually managed to get an autographed copy when I bought it on amazon. For no extra cost. So very. cool.

Fantastic book!!

Girl Scout Gold

May 11, 2013

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

This book gives voice to young women who gained acceptance and camaraderie in the Girl Scout Camps throughtout the US. I enjoyed reading about these young women and certainly could relate to their experiences. It is a thoughtful and enjoyable read. Other young women might benefit from knowing that a safe place to be yourself existed years ago and still does to this day.

Entertaining Reassurance

January 10, 1999

Format: Paperback

This is a wonderful book of personal stories and entertaining anecdotal pieces such as 'All I really need to know about being a Lesbian I learned at girl scout camp.' From a personal perspective this book was a gentle re-assurance that I and my circle of lesbian girl scout friends are not alone. This book underlines a belief that I have always had, that the lesbian connection is a spiritual one foremost and a sexual one as a result. There is such a warmth,bonding, and level of oneness that you can feel with a woman, that for me has never been possible with a man, despite my own 11 year marriage. I discovered this "lesbian connection" while being a counselor at a girl scout camp and fell in love with another wife/mother much like myself. Our love bloomed quite naturally and a year later we were both divorced and living a completeness we never knew existed. It was then that it was revealed to us that there were several others like us - in our own council. They sensed what was happening with us, stood back and let the journey take it's course. This book is a gentle and sincere voice that needs to be heard all across America in GS Councils everwhere.

Why ruin a good thing?

February 25, 2016

Format: Paperback

Looks like someone wants to destroy the girl scouts. What parent who read this (or simply saw the title) would ever trust GSA with their daughters? Just another example of a self centered liberal "feminist" expressing themselves in a manner that shows how clueless they are about everyone that doesn't think like them.
