Month: May 2010

May 8th, Scout Night, holds a special place for me. In my youth I was a Boy Scout. It may be hard to believe, but Scouting has a weird connection with roller derby.

Most women can count the number of years they were a Girl Scout on one hand. I, however, have to take off one of my shoes. I joined the Brownies when I was in the first grade and didn't leave scouting until I graduated high school. Why did I stay with the Girl Scouts for so long?
