“The Girls Scouts Celebrate 100 Years" (Read by: Lisa Kroll)
March 12, 2012 marked a hundred years of Girl Scouting. And ever since that first Girl Scout meeting, diversity and embracing individuality has been a core value of the organization. That’s certainly cause to celebrate – and celebrate they did.
At the 726-feet high Hoover Dam near Las Vegas, the green carpet was rolled out for a short ceremony honoring the beginnings of local scouts during the dam’s construction in 1932. The Bureau of Reclamation also turned the lights of the dam green for Girl Scout Week March 10-17.
Girl Scouts from the Greater NY Council flipped the switch to light the Empire State Building green to mark the anniversary. And Girl Scouts CEO Anna Maria Chávez commemorated the centennial at a sunrise ceremony in Savannah, Georgia, where it all began.
