Maintain your resolve. Dieters, caution! Girl Scouts are everywhere, and they are all attempting to sell you kryptonite… aka their most delectable pastries. Whether your preferred flavour is the minty Thin Mints or the sticky Tagalongs, we can all concur that Girl Scout cookies keep the world turning. They are so excellent that they deserve a vacation. And they have one… in a sense. Prepare for festivities on March 12, as it is National Girl Scout Day. National Girl Scout Day commemorates the first Girl Scout meeting and is a part of Girl Scout Week. Juliette “Daisy” Gordon Low organised the Savannah, Georgia conference in 1912. And the Girl Scouts have only thrived since! Therefore, take a cookie (or twelve) and prepare to celebrate.
The background of National Girl Scout Day
The movement is all about encouraging girls to pursue their ambitions with confidence. So many females who have participated in scouting are happier as a result. We appreciate that girls are encouraged to investigate the outdoors and are taught how to cope and survive there. Girl Scouting includes elements of military readiness, but is also enjoyable. Juliette Gordon Low conceives of an organisation that will cultivate the courage, character, and self-assurance of young women. During the Great Depression, Girl Scouts actively aid those in need and partake in relief efforts. Gloria D. Scott is elected as the Girl Scouts’ first African-American board president. Junior Girl Scouts receive the ‘Technology’ badge as computers become more prevalent and integrated into everyday life.
