103 years ago, on March 12, an event took place that continues with us today.

Do you know what it was?

The event involved 18 people,

All were female.

Over the past 103 years, some 59,000,000 people have followed in the steps of those 18.

All of those 59,000,000 people have been female.

The event of 103 years ago involved Juliette Gordon Low (JGL).

On that day JGL formally registered a new organization.

What was it?

It was an organization that today (yes it does) still engages in door to door sales of a product.

It is a product that is generally sold by females under the age of adulthood.

What is that product?

It is a product that is often consumed at meals and at other times.

It is a product that is eaten by males, females, adults and children.

That product is boxes of cookies.

And the organization formally organized on March 12, 1912 was __________________?

Girl Scouts...

And primary reasons for their success?

 

   

 

The Girl Scout Promise

On my honor, I will try:

To serve God and my country,

To help people at all times,

And to live by the Girl Scout Law.

                                        

The Girl Scout Law

I will do my best to be

honest and fair,

friendly and helpful,

considerate and caring,

courageous and strong, and

responsible for what I say and do,

and to

respect myself and others,

respect authority,

use resources wisely,

make the world a better place, and

be a sister to every Girl Scout.

 

 

God is Love!  Jesus saves!
