Today marks Girl Scouts' 100th birthday. How did you spend the day?
Our Girl Scout troop camped over the weekend, and we held a birthday party yesterday morning with cupcakes before breaking camp. The girls each shared what they loved about camp and Girl Scouts. Our troop is not doing anything formal today, but the girls are each celebrating this milestone in their own way.
What memories do you have as a Girl Scout?
Thirty-two years ago, my parents registered me as a Brownie Girl Scout (there weren't Daisies at the time). I enjoyed making friends, creating projects, participating in service projects, going camping, and learning new skills. I don't remember ever wanting to quit Girl Scouts.
My mom became involved as a leader when I was an older Brownie or Junior, and she continued to be a part through graduation. I enjoyed the time we spent together.
I credit who I am and the accomplishments I have had to God, my parents/family, friends, and Girl Scouts, which has had the largest influence outside of those. The skills I learned and the experiences I had have led me to the choices I have made, jobs I have had, friends I have made, and so much more.
I have loved sharing my experiences with my niece and our troop these past four years.
