==The Littlest Chickadees==
The '''Littlest Chickadees''', sometimes also called the ''Chickadee Patrols'', are female counterparts to the Junior Woodchucks. The Chickadees first appeared in "The Chickadee Challenge," a Carl Barks [[Donald Duck]] story in ''[[Walt Disney's Comics and Stories]]'' #161 (1954). The Chickadees' Duckburg patrol is led by a brawny woman named Captain Ramrod. [[Daisy Duck]]'s nieces [[April, May, and June]] are members of the Chickadees. The Chickadees are named after the [[chickadee]], a species of small bird; the phrase "littlest chickadee" also suggests "my little chickadee", a term of endearment classically used by [[W. C. Fields]].

The Chickadee Patrols are based to some extent on the [[Girl Scouts of the USA]] and the [[Campfire Girls]]. In the spirit of friendly rivalry, the [[Duckburg]] Troops of the Littlest Chickadees and Junior Woodchucks once held a bridge-building competition, which ended in a tie.

Carl Barks wrote a poem which mentions the rivalry between the two groups:

''The world is full of clans and cults''
<br />''Abuzz as angry bees''
<br />''And Junior Woodchucks snapping jeers''
<br />''At Littlest Chickadees''
