girl scout week
March 11-17, 2012
Girl Scouts – North Carolina Coastal Pines will join Girl Scouts around the nation to make the world a better place and celebrate Girl Scout Week. The week honors the 100th anniversary of Girl Scouting in the United States, which falls on Monday, March 12. Other events include:
Girl Scout Sunday, March 11, and Girl Scout Sabbath, March 17: give girls an opportunity to attend their place of worship and be recognized as a Girl Scout. If a place of worship is the group sponsor, girls may perform a service, such as greeting, ushering, or doing a flag ceremony. These days can also be a time when girls explore other faiths. Celebrating these days also gives Girl Scouting opportunities 1) to thank places of worship for their contributions to the community and to Girl Scouting, and 2) to share how today’s girls are discovering their personal paths to leadership through Girl Scouting.
Girl Scout Birthday, Monday, March 12: To commemorate 100 years of Girl Scouting on March 12, 1912, when Juliette Gordon Low officially registered the organization’s first 18 girl members as Girl Scouts in Savannah, Georgia.
In addition to the activities above, Girl Scout Sunday (March 11) marks the end of the 2012 Girl Scout Cookie sale.
