Note that there is a one-pager in which it is confirmed that they have their own guidebook: Boek-lopers.What does making cookies have to do with having to a guidebook for the Chikadees?
On your second question: That Duckfan is probably referring to what I said about only Girl Scouts selling cookies in the USA.
Thanks much for the reference to the one-pager! Since I can't read the dialogue in the Inducks scan, and since it hasn't been published in France or Germany from whence I might be able to buy a copy, I would greatly appreciate it if you would post an English translation of the dialogue. (Or just post it in the language you have it in, and I'll run it through GoogleTranslate.) Like That Duckfan, I do really like the idea of the Chickadees having their own Guidebook...I just have reluctantly accepted in my personal headcanon that the magical JW Guidebook is inaccessible to them as to any non-JWs, and that its singular origin story is impossible of replication, so that there couldn't be another magical compendium of All Knowledge available to the girls. But I'm very much interested in the idea of a Chickadee Guidebook. I would be most interested to hear what this one-pager indicates about their guidebook. Plus, it's not really off-topic, because it would shed light on Geradts' understanding of the relation between the two organizations. Though of course Geradts has never been known for caring about continuity or consistency, even within his own output! So this would show only Geradts' theory for the purposes of this one-pager.
“No, we don't have the Junior Woodchucks' Manual! We've got the Chickadees' Book! And there are very useful things in it!”
“Ha! Ha! Like how to paint your nails, surely?”
“Pooh! It explains how to distinguish the buttercup from the kingcup!”
“Now who's interested in that?”
“And the difference between pines and spruces!”
“What's the use of that?”
“It explains the difference between a toad and a frog!”
“Ha! Ha! That's what we call a useless book!”
“A real Junior Woodchuck can see that from a kilometer away...”
“It also tells you how to distinguish a patch of grassland from a pond covered with DUCKWEED from a distance!”
