[Cathy Flesher]

Hi all,

 

I thought Joyce would be particularly interested in this. hope some of the
rest of you will be as well.

 

Girl Scouting in the United States of America began on this day, March 12,
1912, when Juliette Gordon Low organized the first Girl Scout troop meeting.
At this first troop meeting in Savannah, Georgia, there were 18 girls
present.  For these girls, Juliette Gordon Low organized enrichment
programs, service projects, and outdoor activities and adventures.  Since
the time of the first meeting, Girl Scouts has grown to over 3.7 million
members.

*	The organization's original name was the Girl Guides of America
*	By 1920 there were close to 70,000 members
*	By 1930 there were over 200,000 members
*	In 2005 there were over 3.7 million members

 

Motto
"Be Prepared"

Slogan
"Do a Good Turn Daily"

"Girl Scouting builds girls of courage, confidence and character, who make
the world a better place."

 

 

Have a great day!!
