PIGEON FORGE, Tenn. (AP) - June 14, 2009 Parton appeared on stage at the Pines Theatre in Pigeon Forge,
where 400 Girl Scouts were receiving the new "Coat of Many
Colors" patch. It is named for Parton and her 1971 song of the
same name.
Parton is a lifetime member of the Girl Scouts. She wore her own
uniform, hugged and chatted with the girls on Saturday.
The song tells the story of how schoolmates made fun of a coat
Parton's mother made from rags. The patch requires Scouts to help
others, then design a collage of what makes them special.
Parton told the girls, "A person can make money, but money
can't make a person."
