A Flag Ceremony was special, we were told, and all Scouts needed to be in uniform. In addition, three Boy Scouts and three Girl Scouts would be chosen to form the Color Guard. Our three Girl Scout troop leaders sought volunteers. I felt worthy, and threw my green beret in the ring. They assured us that they’d follow a thoughtful selection process.
When the Flag Ceremony commenced, having never been called, I was curious to see who made the Color Guard. The three Girl Scouts, each a troop leader’s daughter, then marched in with the three Boy Scouts.
Shortly after, embittered and disillusioned, I quit the Girl Scouts.
