I went to the Lubbock celebration of the 100th anniversary of the Girl Scouts of America tonight http://www.girlscouts.org/who_we_are/. It was cute: There was a "Daisy" interpreter who talked about Juliette Low and the founding of the Girl Scouts. There were various displays, cupcakes, and a time capsule. I contributed my spare Girl Scout pin. I have two: one is on my wall hanging where I have many memorial pins. This one was older, and the pin was broken. It was in a plastic case. I enclosed my name, where and when I was a Girl Scout.
The celebration included singing. I did not know the songs, but typical for girl scout songs, they were easy to learn and sing-a-long with. And, we did a friendship circle. I had forgotten about friendship circles, but it all came back, including right over left hands crossed.
It was a small group, considering the size of Lubbock. But it was a nice group, and lots of fathers and brothers in the crowd, which was nice to see. I am honored that I received an email to attend, and I am honored that I was able to attend.
Go Girl Scouts!
