Not just any birthday, but the 100th birthday of the organization founded by Juliette Low in Savannah, Georgia. The Girl Scouts are much more than cookie pushers. The organization has 3.2 million members aged 5 to 17 today, and would probably have more if there were more leaders to help out. Girl Scouts teach skills (for me it was camping and cooking over a campfire…Woo Hoo! Still love that stuff), pride in being a female, and the importance of careers in science, technology, math, and engineering.
So, check this out. I was at one of my favorite haunts and found this Girl Scout Handbook from 1963. It’s not a first edition or signed by Ms.Low. It doesn’t have to be a first edition or be signed to be special. It is a wonderful bit of history that helped shape us into the strong, wonderful, intelligent women we are today. It is priceless.
