Team, as we prepare to celebrate 100 years of Girl Scouting, lets never forget
the women who went before us. Those incredibly courageous women that turned
a vision of building/growing girls into reality. The GSUSA CEO, Kathy Cloninger,
sent this message out this morning and I want to share it with you.
“Join me in taking a moment
today to remember the remarkable woman who founded our Movement. Juliette
Gordon Low was born on October 31, 1860, in Savannah, Georgia. Daisy Low’s
vision, to see girls blossom into productive and responsible women, led her at
age 51 to form the Girl Scouts.
What began on March 12, 1912,
as a small gathering of 18 girls has flourished into an international movement
with 3.2-million girl and adult members. On this her 151st birthday, we take
pride in Daisy Low’s gift to the nation of a vibrant, dynamic and growing
Movement through which girls and young women find their voice and their
leadership. We have accomplished so much together and are ready to embark on
our Movement’s next century living Daisy Low’s inspiring vision. ”
What are your best memories of girl scouting??
Take a moment and share them.
Thank you for all that you do, for making a difference in the lives of our girls!!
Warmly,
Lora
