109 YEARS OLD!

            109 YEARS OLD!

   Guess who's 109 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!
     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 all three of our 
granddaughters were Girl Scouts
for a time. Our daughter-in-law helped

run a troop of girl scouts too!
      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!
       Hope you're ordering
some from your favorite
Girl Scout and that all your
NEWS is good.
