Fireside Girls

Template:Redirect

**The Fireside Girls**, also known as **The Loyal Sisterhood of the Fireside Girls**, is a girls' organization similar to Camp Fire USA and the Girl Scouts. There is 3 related troops, 61725, 41957 and 47532.
This troop appears to be led (at least partially) by Isabella Garcia-Shapiro, while the organization itself appears to be led (and founded) by Eliza M. Feyersied. Its founding time is unknown, but it can be assumed it is relatively recent due to Eliza still being alive. It is unknown if there are additional troops in Danville; however, it is known that there are troops located in France and Africa. ("Buford Confidential", "Where's Perry?")

The girls show a large variety of skills and often use them to help Phineas and Ferb with their Big Ideas. They also use their handbook, which contains information on a large variety of subjects - such as time travel and car engines ("It's About Time!", "The Fast and the Phineas"). Most of the activities or information listed within the guidebook are often linked to patches, and most of these patches allow them to help Phineas and Ferb in one of their many projects.

## Ranks

Candace refers to herself as "Cadet Flynn" in It's No Picnic.

The Fireside Girls have a great number of Accomplishment Patches, with many of them being for activities which would not normally be performed by regular scouts. (An example of this is the "Wrestling an Alligator in a Sewers Patch")

## Participation in the Big Ideas

Main article: Fireside Girl Participation in the Big Ideas
The Fireside Girls are generally called in whenever Phineas and Ferb need additional help with a project. They have shown to be quite proficient at this and, as a result, get involved often. They also regularly perform in the musical numbers.

## The Fireside Girls' Emblem

The Fireside Girls have an official emblem which appears on almost all of their equipment and buildings.

## Fireside Girls Anthem

The Fireside Girls also have a short anthem, as well as a jingle which plays whenever they appear. The full version has so far only been seen in "Isabella and the Temple of Sap".

## Known Rules

* **Joining the Fireside Girls**: When a girl wishes to join the Fireside Girls, she is nominated by the troop leader and must be accepted by the rest of the troop. After that, she then must fill out an application, read the entire training manual and sign some insurance waivers. She then returns one week later to be sworn into the group. ("Fireside Girl Jamboree")

* **Article 9, Section Charlie, Footnote 6**: "A Troop Leader may award full Fireside Girl status to any girl who has earned 50 patches." ("Fireside Girl Jamboree, allowing Candace into the troop.")

* **Two Strikes and You're Out**: If a Fireside Girl attempts and fails to achieve a patch twice, she is not allowed to try a third time. Only affect Troop 46231. ("Bee Story")

## Lil' Sparks

**Lil' Sparks** is a group linked to the Fireside Girls in which Fireside Girls tutor Lil' Sparks to prepare them for membership to the Fireside Girls. Isabella was once a Lil' Spark and Melissa is a current member of the Lil' Sparks. Assuming that Isabella was a Lil' Spark, the other members of her troop may have also been former Lil' Sparks members before becoming full Fireside Girls. The Lil' Sparks have their own magazine and a van. Camp Fire USA has a program called Lil' Stars for the same purpose.

## Background Information

* Several more girls appear alongside the Fireside Girls in "Jerk De Soleil", "De Plane! De Plane!" and "Wizard of Odd" It is unknown if the ones in "Jerk De Soleil" and "Wizard of Odd" are additional Fireside Girls, but the ones appearing in "De Plane! De Plane!" have been confirmed by Dan Povenmire to be non-members. In "I Was a Middle Aged Robot," two new Fireside Girls were officially seen with their uniforms as well as in *Phineas and Ferb The Movie: Across the 2nd Dimension*, "Tour de Ferb", "Channel Surfing U.S.A." and later episodes of Flynn-Fletcher series.
* Gretchen and Katie are the only Fireside Girls who appear in the *Phineas and Ferb* Nintendo DS game.
* Katie and Ginger make an early cameo appearance in "Rollercoaster" in a crowd shot during the unveiling of the coaster. However, in this scene, they don't have a beret, making them the 1st Fireside Girls besides Isabella to be shown with a full head of hair.
* The gag that the Fireside Girls Handbook has information on such a wide range of subjects is a tribute to the Junior Woodchucks Guidebook. The Junior Woodchucks is the youth group in the Donald Duck stories by Carl Barks, and its most notable members are Donald Duck's nephews, Huey, Dewey, and Louie.
* Heinz Doofenshmirtz made an invention to turn the Fireside Girls invisible because he did not want to have to see them during their fund-raising activities (since they were too cute looking, and their "big pleading eyes" made him feel guilty), but it was not used on them. ("Don't Even Blink") and also to destroy the bridge to the Fireside Girls Cupcake Factory because he has an addiction to the Fireside Girl Cupcakes. ("Fireside Girl Jamboree")
* The Fireside Girls have a theme song, named after them - "Fireside Girls". ("Isabella and the Temple of Sap")
* Candace was able to join the Fireside Girls by earning 50 patches in a single day.("Fireside Girl Jamboree")
* Each Fireside Girl has at least 50 "Help Thy Neighbor" Patches, with each one earned by participating in one of Phineas and Ferb's Big Ideas.
* Milly, Katie, and Gretchen are the only Fireside Girls who appear in "Disney's Phineas and Ferb: The Best LIVE Tour Ever!".
* The organization's name appears to be an amalgamation of Camp Fire USA and the Girl Scouts.
* They frequently sell cupcakes around Danville. The cupcakes usually come in log shaped boxes. ("Don't Even Blink", "Fireside Girl Jamboree"), and there is a patch available for mass delivery (but there is no information available on it).
* Usually, when the Fireside Girls appear in an episode, a jingle plays which is possibly a variation of Scotland the Brave.
* So far, there are a few episodes showing the Fireside Girls not in their Fireside Girls uniforms. ("Put That Putter Away", "The Ballad of Badbeard, "De Plane! De Plane!", "Jerk De Soleil", "Candace's Big Day", "Robot Rodeo", "Wizard of Odd", "The Great Indoors", "A Phineas and Ferb Family Christmas") However, they were only seen in standard clothing in Act Your Age.
* Candace Flynn is the only Fireside Girl who wears a brown beret instead of an orange one like the others do. This is possibly due to that if she wore an orange beret, it would just blend in with her orange hair, although it could also mean that only full members of the Fireside Girls can wear the orange beret, and that the brown beret denoted her probationary status. It is also possible that Candace chose the color herself.
* Their motto is: "Fireside Girls are always prepared." This was said by Isabella in "No More Bunny Business", and was mentioned in the "Speed Demons" book. It's based on the motto of both the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts, which is "Be Prepared."
* There is a teenage Fireside Girl behind Candace at the Paisley Sideburn Brothers concert in "Fireside Girl Jamboree." She appears only in the last few seconds before the show ends. Her face is hidden, but her uniform and short brown hair are visible.
* In "The Beak", They give out newspapers throughout Danville called "Fireside Girls Gazette".
* Ginger and Milly are the only Fireside Girls who appear in "Transport-inators of Doooom!".
* In "We Call it Maze", "Lil' Sparks" is a sub-organization that help young girls to become Fireside girls as well as their own magazine, and Isabella was once a Lil' Spark. This is similar to Camp Fire USA's "Little Stars" program that helps young kids become Camp Fire Boys/Girls.
* In "Channel Surfing U.S.A.", the commercial states that the organization gives extra credit for middle schools.
* Phineas and Ferb's Rockin' Rollin' Dance Party at Disney California Adventure features a troupe of female dancers that wear Fireside Girls uniforms and help out assisting kids teaching them the dances in the show.
* They have other branches besides Danville like in France and Africa. ("Buford Confidential", "Where's Perry?")
* Starting with "Bee Story", the rules affect Troop 46231, they only get two chances to get a patch.
* The girls' voices are noticeably change since Cymphonique Miller and Tiffany Espensen were replaced by Diamond White and Michaela Zee to voice Holly and Ginger respectively. Also, the voices had gone deeper as of Season 4 since the voice actresses were growing up.
* Baljeet asks Phineas and Ferb if they think there's a Fireside Boys, but the question isn't answered. This was later explored in Creative Asian Season 6, Episode 51.
* Coincidentally, *The Carol Burnett Show* featured a recurring sketch in which Burnett portrayed Alice Portnoy, a conniving member of the Fireside Girls of America. During the 2019 D23 Expo, Jeff "Swampy" Marsh remarked he was once asked if the Fireside Girls from *Phineas and Ferb* were named in tribute - he was previously unaware of the existence of the Carol Burnett character and admitted the naming is a complete coincidence.
