Dolly Parton, famous for her singing, will now also be remembered as a Girl Scout For Life.

Now, I have to admit, I’m not a fan of Dolly Parton beyond the fact that she’s a classic, yadda, yadda, but I thought it was pretty cool that she was such a role model for young women that they would give her this award. I mean, how many women has the Girl Scouts of America inspired to excellence. My daughter was a scout and she was taught about integrity, getting along with your fellow man/woman and how to help the environment. Not to mention all those great Girl Scout cookies.

So the fact that Dolly has received this honor goes a long way towards raising her already high credibility. She’ll also make a fantastic spokesperson for the Girl Scouts, and I’ll be she was just tickled pink to be honored that way.

Here’s a bit of the press release and you can read more if you like.

PIGEON FORGE, Tenn. — Dolly Parton is a country singer, songwriter, movie star, amusement park owner and philanthropist. Now she’s a Girl Scout, too.

Parton, 60, was named a lifetime member of Girls Scouts of Tanasi Council during a presentation before 1,000 Girl Scouts at her Dollywood theme park Friday evening.

“While I was never a Girl Scout myself when I was a kid, I always wanted to be,” Parton said in a statement. “This great honor lets me live out a dream and to be part of an organization that stands for many of the same values I do and Dollywood does.”

Parton accepted a lifetime membership pin and led the audience in the Girl Scout Promise.
