A non-softball related rant. . .
A young lady earned her Girl Scout Gold Award and her project was selected at the national level for being such an exceptional project; she will receive thousands of dollars in scholarships and travel across the country to be recognized for her efforts. The president of Girl Scouts tweeted about her and her picture and story are posted on the national website.
Here is the adult misbehavior: in response to the posting, dozens of adult volunteers posted in social media how awful it is that this young lady's uniform vest is NOT in compliance with badge placement. The rants involved about what a uniform means and how it should be worn are shameful! Yes, there are instructions about what insignia should be placed where but Girl Scouts does not have uniform inspections the way other organizations do. The military-esque portion of the program was removed about 50 years ago.
Now girls are questioning their adults about what the big deal is and why these adults are bullying this girl.
Out of the mouths of babes. . .adults should be mindful at all times how their words and actions reflect poorly and contradict the message they are trying to teach their kids.
