HAPPY BIRTHDAY GIRLS!

       HAPPY BIRTHDAY GIRLS!

   Guess who's 107 years old today? It's
the Girl Scouts. Well, not the girls. It's
the Girl Scout Organization! I don't
believe any of the original members
are still around.
    Juliette Gordon Low started the first
 Girl Scout group in Savannah Georgia 
with 18 girls on March 12th., 1912.
That was a month before the Titanic
went down!
    There's a lot more of them today. And
that includes our granddaughter 
Mckenzie and her Mom who's been
helping out with their weekly meetings.
     Girl Scouting runs in our family
although I've never been one myself.
I was a Scout for awhile. A Cub
Scout.
      My wife was a Scout Leader
when my daughters were involved in
the program and both of our older
granddaughters were Girl Scouts
for a time.
      These days there are Boy Scout
Troops that are enrolling girls. 
However you feel about that it
probably would have kept me in
Scouting a lot longer if they did
it when I was a Cub!
       Thankfully, one tradition
remains unchanged. The Girl
Scouts still sell cookies! Our
order has already been placed
with our granddaughter and
delivery is expected soon.
       Hope you're ordering
some from your favorite
Girl Scout and that all your
NEWS is good.
