Gals In Green
I am taking a break from working on a baby quilt, which you can see on my Winding Threads blog. I heard on our local news that the Girl Scouts are holding their convention in our state. The Girl Scouts have converged on Indianapolis! Last week it was the Future Farmers of America. This week the gals in green have arrived. Oh my!
Tomorrow is the day that most of us will be thinking about all those little kids ringing our doorbells and shouting “trick or treat.” Another reason to celebrate is that tomorrow is Julliette Low’s birthday. Julliette, center in picture, founded the Girl Scouts of America back in 1912. On March 12, 1912, Juliette gathered 18 girls to register the first troop of American Girl Guides. The organization was incorporated in 1915, with Juliette serving as president until 1920 when she was granted the title of founder. Wikipedia tells how she was known for being eccentric and charming. She was only the eighth woman to be honored with a U. S. postage stamp. There have been three Girl Scout U.S. postage stamps.
