I was a YMCA Indian Guide, now they were cool. I was Weblo for about a year, if that and it was nothing like Indian Guides. Hal's right it was very religious, whereas Indian Guides didn't have anything to do with religion, it had to do with teaching you to believe in yourself and American Indian culture. And the friends I had from my tribe at age 6 are today my friends we are scattered but we shared something and it has stayed with us all these years.
Too bad the Indian Guides don't get the recognition the Boy Scouts do.

A weird coincidence, my wife was a Y Indian Princess in her youth.

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
