Dolly Parton named Girl Scout for Life
PIGEON FORGE, Tenn. - Dolly Parton is a country singer, songwriter, movie star, amusement park owner and philanthropist. Now she's a Girl Scout, too.
Parton, 60, was named a lifetime member of Girls Scouts of Tanasi Council during a presentation before 1,000 Girl Scouts at her Dollywood theme park Friday evening.
"While I was never a Girl Scout myself when I was a kid, I always wanted to be," Parton said in a statement. "This great honor lets me live out a dream and to be part of an organization that stands for many of the same values I do and Dollywood does."
Parton accepted a lifetime membership pin and led the audience in the Girl Scout Promise.
Then she honored 28 girls who received the Gold Award, the highest honor in Girl Scouts.
"Dolly realizes the importance of a program that helps girls grow into young women of courage and confidence," said Glenda McCarter-Johnson, board chairwoman of Girl Scouts of Tanasi Council and Parton's childhood friend. "She wants to let these girls know just how much they are appreciated for the work they do for the community."
The Tanasi Council has 10,000 members in 16 counties in eastern Tennessee.
*All I can say is "Wow."

When I read this to my dad, he said "All three of her."
Then he said that, that was kind of crass.

umm.. no. Dolly was a Finnish sheep. Not a sheep/goat cross. Where the hell did you get that information from??

Dolly was the first animal to ever be cloned. And yes, Dolly was a sheep.

Dammit, I like Dolly Parton. Say what you will, that woman is under no delusions as to who and what she is.
"It takes a lot of money to look this cheap"
And sadly, her talent gets lost in the glitz- but her work as a country, folk and bluegress artist is amazing (Check out "Halos and Horns" and "Those were the days").
And as a former scout and scout counselor, I'd say any self made woman who did it on her terms is a hell of a role model.

Spoken like a true scout.
Anybody care to remember the Girl Scout promise ("On my honor...")?

I used to be a scout and the only reason I stopped was because there was no one in the area to take my age group any higher in the scouts. But I loved being a scout and it was so much fun. And I like Dolly Parton, I don't like her music though.

I was a Cub Scout, Weblos Scout, Boy Scout, and Explorer.
Some of the best times of my life were in the scouts. And I learned a lot, but mostly independence and survival.
