Girl
Scout
News
22nd BirthdaU.

Twenty-Five years ago, Girl Scouting
was started in Savannah, Ga., by
Juliette Law. In England, Mrs. Law
met Lord Baden-Powen, the founder of
Scouting and joined the Scout move
ment as a Girl Guide leader. She
returned to America and in March, 1912
formed the first Girl Scout troop in
the United States at her home in
Savannah.
In those twenty-five years Scouting
has branched out. The year 1888 saw
a 79o gain making the total member
ship 1904 An increasing interest on
the part of the public and the un-
swerving loyalty of our friends make
possible what was done in Girl Scouting
in 1898.
Although we cannot puzzle out the
future, we believe the Girl Scout pro-
gram will meet it's needs. Certainly
the world in the making can use the
skills accumulated by the Girl Scouts
who in 1888 earned 1892 proficiency
badges in health and home making
projects.
Girl Scouting cannot take the place
of schools for our girls but until full
school terms and clrricula are once
more restored, the fifty activities that
make up the Girl Scout program car
help to keep young minds sharpened
young hearts confident and the sense
of achievement alive, and from the
adventure and comradeship of Cir
Scouting will very often come the sturdy
character to fight the good fight against
adversely.
