From sitcoms etc it seems that in America, Girl Scouts are in troops run by parents. So you'd meet at one another's houses, and it would be a troop of your friends, is that right? Is it a different parent each week? If so, how do you do badges etc? What happens if you want to be a Girl Scout and none of your friends do? How are the troops regulated/registered- do they have names and things? Is this also how Boy Scouts are run?

Ah,now I remember hooray is a much better spelling than hurray!

I never remember you can spell it with a 'u' until I see it written that way! And 'hurrah' just makes me think of posh people in the 1920s...

I always spell it hooray (hurray looks like 'hurry' to me) and say that or hurrah.

Ugh, WRONG.

I think they're different words. 'Hooray' has the emphasis more emphatically on the first syllable. I'd never write 'Hurray Henry', for example, only 'Hooray Henry'.

Yes, that was going to be my comment! My real preference is "hooray", but I would choose "hurrah" over "hurray".
