Being thrown out of Brownies isn't something to be proud of

[Wandaaa]

Watching Who wants to be a Millionaire on ITV +1 and contestant has just said whe was thrown out of the Brownies. I hear this often on TV by minor celebrities and it really annoys me.
There got that off my chest.

signet brilliant.

"My dd has just enrolled and literally would be gutted if she was kicked out"

Really! Have they started doing badges for butchery then? :)

I was expelled from boarding school.

I didn't get kicked out, I walked out as furious as a 7 yo can be. My Mum was when I walked through the front door and announced my Brownie career was over.

Bet that was the last time Brown Owl announced the careers were for the boys, not girls and dismissed our badge choices as silly and unachievable.

It was a genuine tragedy that at 7 I had no bosom to hoick

I wish I'd been thrown out of Brownies. My mother forced me to go every Friday night for years.

Brown Owl was a cow.

And don't get me started on Brownie camp.

I think slebs seem to be proud of crazy child hoods because they were naughty children, who people thought would end up as nothing, and have proved those people wrong.

My Dad was chucked out of cubs for hitting another cub with his torch (the other cub tried to steal said torch and my Dad was having none of it)

He is quite proud of the fact, it's the only time he's ever done anything remotely rebellious in his life

at literally gutted.

I had to come home from Brownie camp. I was homesick not sent home in disgrace, but if I ever went on WWTBAM I could phrase it so I looked like a Brownie rebel.

I wasn't even allowed into Brownies!

My mum took me along for the night and when she came to get me was told I wasn't suitable for Brownies

Brown Owl was a dinner lady at my school as well, I think she'd seen enough of me in the day she couldn't face the extra Ruby time. Oh well. Although I never took DDs as a result.

Where's the Chucked out of Guides bench?

I brought the pack into disrepute apparently it was a set up

GwendolineMary

Weren't you chucked out of school too?

echo

I wasn't so much thrown out of boarding school - more invited to carefully consider my options (in a tone that suggested I only had one option and that was to fuck the fuck off!!)

@ literally gutted!!
Ok ok metaphorically gutted then!!

She's 7, she would be vair vair disappointed

Unfortunately my parents were NOT so proud.

If all the people who claim to have been chucked out of brownies were put end to end they'd go round the world twice.......

Seeker, I think more likely three. I'm amazed we had any Zbriwnies in my town, the list of things you could be removed for!

I was thrown out of Sunday School for being a 'disruptive influence' and was later thrown out of Brownies for biting Brown Owl when she attempted to manhandle me. I was captain of the school athletics team though!

seeker

lynette I think you're right... I should be famous. I got asked to leave a certain school else I'd have expulsion on my record . I think if they'd actually known more about ASD I'd have new n well an truly on it. My dear mother would have been horrified tho. She's the original mrs bucket but now bouquet. Love her, but she's a daft cow

slonned "biting brown owl"...

Literally gutted, Babylon1? There's laws against that you know?

Girlguiding is all about the hats.
My woolly Brownie hat was the best bit about the uniform and my air-hostess-stylee Guide hat was the bees knees.

Unfortunately at 14yo I left girlguiding to join DofE instead. They didn't have hats but they did have older boys. Many a happy evening spent snogging in the car park instead of going to the meeting [happy times emoticon].

I never joined in the first place because even as a small child I was a cynical wee cow and thought it looked like a load of preachy do-good bollocks.

Well it is if you hate it and you are sent against your will and it clashes with Dr Who and you are fed up to the back teeth of sewing on badges for the things any old numpty could do.

Oh dear, I was chucked out of Brownies for swearing. At Brown Owl. There, my dirty little secret is out .

I was chucked out of Brownies and ballet!

I always wanted to be a boy scout

I was cordially asked to leave guides and instantly switched to scouts which was a very great deal more fun. plus I could smoke and drink and as long as I was sober and upright by the time I had to go home no one gave two hoots
