mmm girl scout cookies. delicious.

speaking of gs cookies, do people ask you about them every time you say you work for girl scouts? like, 'oh, the girl scouts, do they pay you in cookies?'

Haha Yes! Actually that has happened to me before.

I dont get paid in cookies but I get loads for free

Ah taking cookies from the kitchens under the cover of darkness....

I miss thin mints. There just isn't a UK equivalent.

I've heard that, but more often I get asked if I'm a volunteer. I sure am not!

I've never been asked if i get paid in cokies, but the volunteer question: yes.

i just can't recall any time where i have encountered a girl scout cookie at camp. they sure don't have a stockpile of them in the fridge! i wish they did. girl scout cookies would make an excellent prize, i think.

hmm, i think people have asked me if i was a volunteer, too, but more so because they didn't realize camp counselors get paid in general.

Sometimes we've gotten them for snack. But they always seem to run out (or the staff devour!) of the good ones. I remember the summer of All Abouts...

Kind of along the same idea, for summers we used to get Camp Fire mint patties instead of hershey's with our s'mores and they were amazing! I don't know why we stopped but one summer the hersheys appeared and the mints disappeared, which made me sad. Or maybe they just had an overabundance of mints left one summer, I don't remember as this was years and years ago.

that sounds so good- minty smore's. yum

absolutely amazing! Especially because our mints have the creamy soft mint filling in them, not the cookie-ness of GS mints, though those are absol-freaking-lutely amazing as well!

We had loads of them at chenoa - but they were kept under lock and key so we couldnt pinch them - we often had them for desert at lunch time pack outs and cook outs - and we could usually get away with reqw'ing on extra box - and we would ration them to make sure that every one got some and no one had too many - summer just isnt summer with out thin mints - I am going to miss them this year!

So I get annoyed because no camp people are on facebook right now. So I remember this site and decide to check if maybe someone still writes on here.
So before I even get a chance to search for Cedarledge, here you all are, lol.


So I've made an impulsive decision to apply for this summer. I'm blaming all the Camp quizes circulating on facebook. And the fact that I won't have a job or a place to live come June.

I'm nervous! Who that I know will actually be there next year?

You should go to camp - I am sure you will have a wonderful time! and welcome to the boards.

Everyone except me! And Kit-Kat. And Bird. We're all in other countries for the time being. What are you going to be?

I suppose a UL. Naturally I would love to be CIT director or even WIT director, but those jobs have been taken. I dunno what else is available. I called and left a message inquiring about job openings, but haven't heard back yet. I talked to Bunny on the phone though, and she convinced me to apply.

I'm very nervous, which is silly, but still! I haven't been to camp in years now, so what if I show up and think "yuck, this was a mistake." I'm out of practice with all things campy, including no A/C and being dirty all the time. It'll be weird because this is the first time I've gone without already knowing half of the staff!


Plus I'm nervous about the fact that I was fired from there a few years ago. What if they don't hire me back?

I went back to camp after 2 years and didnt have a problem.

As for the firing thing - I guess it would depend on the reason you were fired - I have heard of people being fired and going back to the same camp!

At my last camp, someone was rehired the following year after being fired. Just as long as you learned from the reason you were fired and dont repeat it, they could hire you back again. It does happen at other camps.

OMG guys camp is creeping up on me hardcore! I can't believe we only have like two and a half months.

ahh going back to the cookie thing , i woul cry if i went to camp and they had cookies , im going to camp to get away from them .
i work at millies cookies

girl scout cookies are completely differnt from anything you can get in millies!

Um, guys? I have a problem with logging onto the boards, finding there are 137 new posts and NONE of them are for Cedarledge. This makes me sad.

that is a very sad predicament!

My issue has been that every time I log on I find myself spending an hour on here just catching up and also having to finish up with the new posts since I want to be able to read them all and not leave some out. I need to pack up and head home today but I won't leave until like 2 because I got on the boards! Silly me!

Sorry - rose non of the cederledgers have been on!

I know! I don't actually read every post, but there's been a huge surge of activity, and it has not been from Cedarledge. Sad!
