Girl scout cookies... they're like kryptonite for the waistline. But if it helps the troop...Oh, what the heck! The s'mores did me in already!

	You can recite your council's "permission slip form" from memory.
	You have a bookcase full of Girl Scout related reference materials.
	You save your dryer lint to make fire starters.
	When somebody points to any one of the girls in your troop and asks "Is that your kid?", you automatically say, "Yes!"
	Better yet: When You use the saying "my girls" yet you only have 1 daughter...

	When attending college you roast mini marshmellows on a paper clip over a candle to make mini s'mores in your dorm room while singing "Rise up o flame"

	You carry the troop telephone list, a first aid kit, paper towels, wet wipes, and a "lost and found" box in your car.
	You have sorted out the badges for all twenty girls in your troop for the awards ceremony tomorrow, but you haven't sewn on your daughter's badges from the last ceremony.

	When the family picnic gets rain out and all adults look at you when the children start running crazy...(or any holiday for that matter..)....And you think up a craft using paper bags, paper plates or whatever is handy?
	Friends or relives call you up with so-so's birthday party and they want it to be a princess party!! You can help with crafts and decortions!!

	How about when: Your family vacation is going camping with your troop.
	We've already built a "shed" next to our garage (length of the garage and about 1/3 as wide) just for the scouting equipment. My dining room has been turned into our computer room and file storage area for my scout boxes and items that I need to get to on a regular basis.
	You have more photos of your troop than of your family
	You get really excited when you find out that your dad is still saving coffee cans behind your mother's back!
	You get upset when your husband dares to think that he can use that tuna can you have been saving.
	You encourage your kids to eat tuna fish sandwiches to get the empty cans.

	You encourage your kids to eat tuna fish sandwiches to get the empty cans.

	You have more photos of your troop than of your family, AND the troop photos are all nicely pasted in albums, and the family pix are in shoeboxes! :-))
	You know you're a green neck when you design and build a key hole fire place in your back yard. ...for the troop! ...just to practice! ...ok, for yourself :).
	When you plan a vacation to a different area of the country, you try to figure out a way to convince your husband to side track to the nearest council office for a visit and to check out if they have something your council doesn't have (ceremonies, special patches, etc.).
