Girl Scout News It Is a little hard to believe that the young ladles wo see about town in their attractive Girl Scout uniform! aro about to cclnbrute anything as so her and "middle-aged" ns a 33th birth day, The Girl Hcouts are always so young, fresh and up-to-date thai we somehow get the impres sion that Girl Scouting Is brand new. We don't rculize that the movoment Is 33 yearn old and that generations of girls have grown up under Its Influence. Tho first Girl Scout troop was organized In Savannah, Ga., on March 12, 1012, by the late Ju liette Gordon Low, who had be come Interested in it through her friendship with Lord Robert Baden-Powell, originator of the scouting movement for both hoys and girls. The Idea of Girl Scouting caught on so quickly, that before the end of 1012 troops were springing up in var ious parts of the country. Today, 33 year later, Girl Scouting Is carried on in R.'IOO communities with a total membership of 1, 218,000. A great deal has happened In this troubled and turbulent world since 1012, and one of the good things has been the quiet, steady growth of an organiza tion devoted to helping girls become better citizens. Perhaps the secret of the Girl Scout success story is that the organization's record is one of progress. The Girl Scouts have developed widespread Interna tional affiliations throughout the years. Today, when girls are as copecrned with worm friend ship as their elders, the or ganization provides channels of communication and cooperation with Girl Guides and Girl Scouts of other lands. - Another remarkable thing about the Girl Scouts U the fact that It is an organization where differences of creed, race, na tionality or polltlo are subjects of reciprocal interest and respect Instead of dispute. This is one of the basic tenets of the move ment and full credit must go to the adult volunteers In Girl Scouts especially to the troop leaders for maintaining this at titude. The leaders have realized that the organization exbits pri marily for girls and that its pur pose is to give girls what they across the country from tha Klamath Falls armory.
