Girl Scout Week
The Girl Scout flags flew in Mountain Home downtown in honor of Girl Scout Week. On Tuesday, March 12th, local Girl Scouts, including troop 968, and their many supporters gathered in City Hall council chambers for the proclamation of Girl Scout Week. Those in attendance included proud family members, local businesses, the mayor, and the ladies’ dedicated leaders and coaches.
It was such an important day for Girl Scouts everywhere, for March 12, 2024, marked the 112th Anniversary of Girl Scouts of the USA, founded in 1912 by Juliette Gordon Low in Savannah Georgia. It had been the first meeting of what would become one of the nation’s largest youth organizations after Low met Baden-Powell, the founder of scouting. The first meeting held only 18 members and since has grown to nearly 4 million. Since then it has helped millions of young girls transverse into adulthood while being community focused and self fortitude. A trademark that the local troops of our region show daily with pride and honor.
