The Girl Scouts were founded by Juliette “Daisy” Gordon Low
on March 12, 1912 when she brought together a group of 18 girls in Savannah,
Georgia. With the goal of bringing isolated girls into the world these scouts
would not only help with their community, but these girls hiked, played sports,
and went on camping trips as well.
As the Girl Scout organization grew, more young women
learned what it meant to be a true scout. There are now over 59 million women
in the United States that are alumnae according to their official
website.
This number continues to grow each year as
young girls join every year in order to form friendships, help their community
and live by the Girl Scout Promise and the Girl Scout Law.
Seeing as I am a former Girl Scout myself, I can say that
there are many benefits to being a part of such a wonderful organization. Below
I’ve included 10 things I have learned from being a GS, and the things little
girls all over can learn from being a part of this organization.
