THE GIRL SCOUTS CELEBRATE 110 YEARS
Today we're celebrating 110 years of the Girl Scouts! Sure, we enjoy
their cookies every year, but with so much history behind the
organization, the Girl Scouts deserve merit badges for more than just
the Thin Mint. On March 12, 1912, founder Juliette Gordon Low brought
an outfit called the Girl Guides stateside from England after
befriending the founder of the scouting movement there. The first
American troop had 18 girls participating. Low designed activities to
allow girls to serve their communities, experience the outdoors, and
develop self-reliance and resourcefulness.
