[nfbwatlk] Fw: Attention Federationists Interested in scouting

[Prows, Bennett (HHS/OCR)]

Oh, Carl.  There certainly are *many* girl scouts, and scouts of girl
scouts.  Pricilla Farris is most famous for her girl scout exploits.
She's known as the girl scout that can dig a latrine in a hurricane.
And, I must say there are a plethora of boy scouts too.  I myself was in
a troop of scouts with my brother at our local school.  My mom and dad
were active troop leaders, etc.  Of course, mom was the den mother in
cub scouts, and dad was a leader of my troop at times too.  There have
been troops of blind folks as boy scouts, troops mixed, and troops of
sighted folks with a blind person or two in them.  In fact, *i* Bennett
Prows was the first ever blind person to receive "Boys Life," in
Braille.  Got my mane in the paper for that one, ..., way back in the
1950s, I believe.

As a long time member of the Boy Scouts of America, I was always far
more 
interested in the Girl Scouts of America.  I even tried to join, but 
couldn't pass the physical.  Flat feet!  Darn!.
Seriously, are there no girl scouts in the ranks of the NFB?
