Actually, it was probably because I peed the bed on our first sleep away camping trip. But that doesn't make half as good a story.
For my friends unfamiliar with Girl Scouts: 'Brownies' is the group girls age 6-8 go into.

I quit girl scouts while I was still a brownie because I hated all the other girls in my troop. I still remember the girl that voted against sleeping over at the camp and caused us to not be able to, and then later complained that we didn't get to sleep over. Yeah. That was it for me.
I was a brownie for about 3 weeks before my mother decided my troop leader was a biiiitch (which she was) never even got to sell cookies or anything like that...Didn't even get one of those uniform things. All I remember from the meetings was SNACK TIME.
So yeah no Girl scouting for me!
I WAS a Daisy in Missionettes...But that's not really girl scouts at all if I remember correctly. xD Basically had to hang out with a bunch of girls that I didn't get along with because I didn't really know anything about Jesus and didn't really care to learn about religion (as you can imagine bible camp SUCKED)

Oh God. My parents (ok... just Mom) panicked when she noticed I wasn't interested in religion one bit. I got sent to 2 bible camps that thought it was a good idea to have three services a day: 1 before breakfast, one before dinner, and one at midnight. The one at midnight was the most fun because it lasted for 2+ hours every time and we had to get up at 6:30 every morning! What a good way to allow kids to learn about religion; forced worship!
Many people feel freed by religion, but it's quite the opposite. In order to practice religion, you have to give up your freedom and worship some kind of entity that supposedly tells you how to live and punishes/rewards you accordingly. I never really understood why people even practice religion...
Enough anti-religion talk from me! I don't want to piss anyone off at this hour. >.>

I was an awesome girl scout. A bit of a slacker (waited until the last minute to earn badges and such) but I was enthusiastic!
The girls in my troupe were pretty cool for the most part. If they didn't like you, they didn't talk to you, but were never malicious. Everyone had friends in the troupe, so there was no BrownieDrama™. I actually quit because my mom was tired of dealing with all the drama the MOMS pulled. That and the fact that NONE of the cookie orders we put in ever came back to us the way they should have (and we liked Samoas WAAAAAY too much in our household)...
It would have been cool to be a girl scout all the way up, but I probably would have gotten overwhelmed with other things. Oh well. I might just pick up one of them grown-up merit badge books (and learn how to tie all sorts of crazy knots and start fires and survive in the wild!!)
...long-winded reply to a really cute and funny comic! Adorable as always!

Oddly enough, the leaders in my scout group were pretty cool. I just hate sleeping out in the wilds, triply so without a working flush toilet within 20 meters. One time, while camping in a provincial park, I refused to use the pit-toilet on site, so my dad had to drive me to the interpretation centre so I could use the toilet there. We almost made it in time...
You got to do something relatively secular like Brownies? =P Consider yourself lucky, I had to go to GA CAMP. >=/
(I tried to find something on it, but let's just say it was sort of a mission-training an organization for girls at our church, and we went to "camp" for one week out of the year to learn how to pester people about Jesus)

lol I hear ya, I too can't honestly say I was in boy scouts. I never made it past the cub scouts, myself. Went all the way up to Weebelos, (the last rank you reach of the cub scouts before you moved up to boy) but I ended up dropping it after I lost my old den had to move to a new one. Scouts just wasn't that fun anymore when they actually made you hike and work all day instead of just sitting around and hanging out=P Ah well, at least I won a Pinewood Derby before I left^^
I made it past Brownies, but in late elementary school, when my troop members decided they wanted to earn badges about make-up and fashion and crap....well, I was through. xD Girl scouts got too girly for me, haha. Almost made me want to join boy scouts (which you can actually do, but I'd lost interest by the time I found that out).
Hehe, I was in the boy scouts for a few years, still got all my badges. But oh how fun it is to be a gay scout.
>=3 the small skinny femmy gay scout which all the boys secretly kept touching in inappropriate ways. But I was also the curious type, and couldn't pass up the chance to pick up every animal I managed to find... cept for the aligator in the almost dried up pond (I blame it for being too big). Well, suffice it to say that my last year with them is when I got bit by something in my tent at night. Never found out what it was, and no marks either.

I quit when I was in brownies too =w=;
I just wasn't a good salesgirl :O
And who wants to spend their entire summer when they're 6, sitting outside of wal-mart at a little table and trying to get people to buy cookies =w=;
And then people go out the exit on the OTHER end just so they can avoid you because they can't say no, the sneaky bastards >:0

girl scouts sucked SO MUCH ARGH. i ended up dropping out when i got way too uncomfortable with the fact i was being forced to lead prayers and my troop leader would leave us alone to go drink in the next room.
i wish i could have been in boy scouts although they don't have TASTY COOKIES

Haha, I'm gonna be one of the few people to say: I loved Girl Scouts! Probably helped that my best friend was in the same troop as me like four out of the five years I did it. I quit when I got to Cadettes, though, because everyone was way too serious about it at that point and we didn't get to do pointless crafts anymore.
I dislike girl/boy scouts. Probably becasue I'm too independent and I have an inability to conform (even at my job, I have a pin on my vest that says' pinch me and ill punch you' from St. Patty's that I never took off. That and a jingle bell.)
I hate conformity and such.
But DAMN, those Ginger Snaps are good when you're hungry and don't want to cross 4 lanes of death and destruction to get lunch.

Psssh. XD I would die laughing if this were true.
I never quit Scouts because I loved going camping so much. ._. I hated all the dumb crafts and girly stuff...whenever we went somewhere my friend and I would wander off into the woods or find some mud/water and dig around. We always came back filthy or sopping wet and all the adults would be all ">( WHAT THE HELL WHERE WERE YOU...WAIT ARGH DON'T GET NEAR ME". We got in trouble a lot, but no one could ever try and kick us out because my mum was the leader, and my friend's mum was the co-leader. XD

I was a cub scout and left the boyscouts after my first year. I apparently graduated to wolf pup or some junk and I was pissed that I wasn't a boyscout. I figured another year of that crap wasn't worth it, especially when I had a an incompetent, colorblind troop leader. His colorblindness apparently prevented him from reading colors as well, because he would try to mix paint and fail horribly at it... like he was trying to make green one time, and he mixed blue and brown. It was awesome. My dad took me home early from that meeting because I complained that the troop leader was an idiot and he didn't want people to hear!
