I have been passing this story along since it is such a hoot! It has gotten such a reaction that we thought we would share it with everyone. It comes from the book The Girl Scouts Triumph,
I picked it up several years ago. As a fiction story, it is totally implausible. It just turned out to be true and has a direct connection to Knoxville's Girl Scout Museum of the Tanasi Council. For those of you that haven't read it yet, the story gives you a snapshot of the WWI era. It could never happen now. Everyone would be locked up! Childrens Protective Services would put all the kids in foster care!
This link, http://artmuseumtouring.com/Fay3_GS_stories.html, will take you directly to the page on Art Museum Touring.com (www.artmuseumtouring.com) where the story is located.

That's wild!
I notice the baby was orphaned by the Spanish flu in 1918. Wonder who relinquished her to the Girl Scout troop?
sweet story
Might not happen quite so innocently, but there are still babies and children being "given" to babysitters, friends and relatives without DCS intervening.
