Dolly Parton Surprises Girl Scouts

Country singer Dolly Parton surprised hundreds of Tennessee Girl Scouts when she made appeared at a ceremony to present them with a patch created in her honor.

Parton appeared on stage at the Pines Theatre in Pigeon Forge, Tenn., where 400 Girl Scouts were receiving the new "Coat of Many Colors" patch, DigitalRodeo.com reported. Named for Parton and her 1971 song of the same name, the patch requires Scouts to help others, then design a collage of what makes them special. The song tells the story of how schoolmates made fun of a coat Parton's mother made from rags.

Parton, a lifetime member of the Girl Scouts, wore her own uniform while she hugged and chatted with the girls on Saturday. Parton told the girls, "A person can make money, but money can't make a person."
