Monday, Girl Scouts turned 100! Unfortunately, my slow computer didn't want to let me on to blog, so here's a late "Happy Birthday!"
One of the things I love about Girl Scouts is that it accepts all girls, including the outcasts. I have heard from multiple women that Girl Scouts made their lives easier. These ladies were military brats so their families moved regularly. Wherever they moved, they had immediate friends because they joined the local troop. In my case, I was the outcast at school, but my troop accepted me. With Girl Scouts, you have friends worldwide.
Another thing I really admire is the positive influence Girl Scouts has on young ladies. They help ladies that would have otherwise been unsuccessful, be successful. Ladies that would have ended up pregnant in high-school and, probably, dropping out, instead, not only graduate high-school, but some become college graduates as well. Ladies in Girl Scouts have grown up to become astronauts, teachers, governors and other politicians, ministers, doctors, and hundreds of other professions, all, hopefully, making our world a better place.
