The song we learned in Brownies was:
Make new friends,
But keep the old,
One is silver and the other's gold
And I think we all new which ones are gold, don't we?
Hmmm... why do I have the feeling my education is incomplete? All we learned in Cub Scouts was how to tie knots and build little wooden cars.
