It depends on who is asking the questions and why they are asking questions. If you are asking about becoming a Girl Scout: What activities do Girl Scouts do? How much does it cost to be a Girl Scout? What badges do Girl Scouts earn? When are the troop meetings? What Girl Scout level would I be? What is the Girl Scout uniform like? If you are going to be asking a Girl Scout questions about Girl Scouting: Who founded Girl Scouts? When did the first girl scout troop form? Why did you want to become a girl scout? Why do Girl Scouts sell cookies? If you are a Girl Scout and will be questioning the children: Who was Juliette Gordon Low? Who started Scouting? What do you want to know about Girl Scouts?
