Congratulations Barbara! Girl Scouts celebrate
95th birthday
As our local Girl Scouts marked their 95th birthday on March 12, there are nearly four million adult and girl members who are actively celebrating timeless values—courage, confidence, and character - in a way that has real impact on our communities. Making the world a better place is the mission of the Girl Scouts and it is a lasting commitment that will make Girl Scouting relevant for another 95 years and beyond.
The founder of Girl Scouts, Juliette Gordon Low, exemplified a lifelong willingness to learn and to serve, and a desire to equip others to do so. In developing the Girl Scout Movement in the United States, Juliette brought girls of all backgrounds into the out-ofdoors, giving them the opportunity to develop self-reliance and resourcefulness. Quite contrary to the societal mores of southern America in 1912, she encouraged girls not only to prepare for roles as homemakers, but for active citizenship and possible roles as professional women—in the arts, sciences, and business.
