I'd totally have signed up for a class in close reading when I was in high school (I'd do it now, but I'm not sure I could find a babysitter). I'm not sure that it's something I'd be good at, but I'm always curious about other ways of looking at texts. I tend to look at things a little more anthropologically, though, which always got me into trouble in college lit classes as the instructors really did not want me going there.
My girl scout troops didn't push uniforms. We all paid to get sashes, but uniforms weren't required. Some girls did get them, but nobody wore them, and I don't remember any social divisions based on who did or didn't have them (I didn't). Of course, our troop also didn't do much with badges. I think I earned three in two years of scouting.
