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, Link... [1], will take you directly to the page on Art Museum Touring.com (Link... [2]) where the story is located.
