GIRL SCOUTS DAY
Gather ’round and munch a bunch of delicious Girl Scouts cookies, as we tell you the story of how the Girl Scouts of the USA was founded on this day in 1912. Juliette Gordon Low of Savannah, Georgia is the person credited with starting this group for young girls, figuring, of course, that if there were Boy Scouts, why not Girl Scouts, too?
However, at first, the girls weren’t called Girl Scouts at all. They were called Girl Guides until the name was officially changed a short time after the group’s founding. Volunteer, help a friend, set an example and complete a project, then pass those chocolate mint and peanut butter-filled cookies, please, as we ‘guide’ you along the path when Those Were the Days.
