Who knew cat shows were such hotbeds of controversy and discrimination? More power to Dawntreader Texas Calboy!

Any Girl Scout badge that has ever been offered can still be earned. If a scout can find the requirements, complete them and have it verified by their leader, that badge can still be earned. However, retired badges are no longer for sale at Girl Scouts. As the article has pointed out, you can find retired badges on Etsy or Ebay. As a current Girl Scout volunteer, just wanted to point out that you can still earn the badges and it is actually a fun exercise to go through old GS handbooks to find badges to earn. And yes, there are badges that by today's standards, are cringe-worthy.

I want the Ukrainian stamp.
People are flocking to Popeye’s to see and feed the cock?
Dawntreader should take some Maine wolves to the shows.
Tucker Carlson is a true patriot, unfortunately not of the US.
Some of the deleted GS badges could be used with updated requirements.
Theadosia is valuable, as every region should have traditional mysteries like Bigfoot.
$652 for two window screens in the UK?!?! There's a fortune awaiting some smart person.
A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi = Star Wars, PERIOD!

PS - thanks Kelly, good to know that girls can call the shots if they want to. If they embroider their own badge they should get another badge for embroidery.
