Juliette "Daisy" Gordon Low assembled 18 girls from Savannah, Georgia, on March 12, 1912, for a local Girl Scout meeting. She believed that all girls should be given the opportunity to develop physically, mentally, and spiritually. With the goal of bringing girls out of isolated home environments and into community service and the open air, Girl Scouts hiked, played basketball, went on camping trips, learned how to tell time by the stars, and studied first aid.
Within a few years, Daisy's dream for a girl-centered organization was realized. Today, Girl Scouts of the USA has a membership of over 3.2 million girls and adults, a significant growth from its modest beginnings nearly a century ago. In fact, more than 50 million women in the U.S. today are Girl Scout alumnae.
As a Girl Scout from the 80's and a troop leader for two years we have done a lot to celebrate this fantastic 100th birthday. This cache contains a log and pen as well as some SWAPs from this weekends festivities. There were a lot of really cool ones so I decided to share my collection. all SWAPs are for trade please place something for trade if you take anything, thx.
Ok funny story with this cache, it was placed on Monday, march 12 and the listing was not posted until wednesday night. In the meantime the town cleaned up and trimmed the bushes, exposing my hiding spot. So now 4 happy hunters go looking for treasure on Wed night and come up emptyhanded. I get some upsetting messages and quickly put in a replacement on Thursday morning in a new spot. So thursday afternoon the cache is discovered (the original) perched upon a garbage pail, not wanting to become trash and is saved. So then there were 2!!! All is corrected and we are back down to one and in the second spot. you now have to enter the park which will require more stealth but it should, I hope, keep the cache a little safer. Thanks to all my geofriends for the safe return of the cache and its new home!
