Gorp is Good Old Raisins and Peanuts, a form of trail mix. Girl Scouts have used GORP to give a different meaning to the ingredients and in Girl Scout ceremonies. For example: adding M&M's to the Gorp mix shows that Girl Scouts come in all colors, shapes and sizes. Every Girl Scout is a sister to other Girl Scouts, no matter how she looks or how she sounds.
