Dad's Dating Rules 
for Girl Scout Daughter

Author Unknown, but it comes straight from my heart!

1. You may only date Boy Scouts that have achieved Eagle Scout rank.

2. You and your date must wear your scout uniforms at all times during the date.

3. If someone pulls into the driveway and honks, it better be UPS and not your date, as he will not be picking you up if he does so.

4. All activities on a date must count towards badge work and be acceptable un the Scout Law.

5. The only food on the date will be Girl Scout Cookies and your date must agree to purchase a minimum of one case of cookies.

6. At least 2 members of your troop or your leader must accompany you on a date as chaperone.

7. There will be no Friendship squeezes, and the only thing you will do with your hands is give the scout hand sign.

8. The only music you will listen to will be scout campfire songs.

9. The word "S'Mores" will not be spoken on the date.

10. You may only swap "Something With A Pin".

11. On your honor you will only go to a nursing home, church or homeless shelter to perform service on your date.

12. As a former Scoutmaster I can tie 100 kinds of knots, build a roaring fire that can consume anything, and dig a latrine at least 6 feet deep.  Be home even earlier than you promise and don't test my resolve to "Be Prepared" to protect my daughter.
