Happy 100th Birthday to the Girl Scouts!
There have been three generations of Girl Scouts in our family: my mother, myself & my daughters. My mother was a Girl Scout in the Bronx. When I was little I was very shy & she hooked me up with the Scouts to help me make friends. I have many happy memories of Girl Scout activities: crafts, badges, cooking, camping & making new friends. When I first sold Girl Scout cookies a box of cookies was 25 cents.

| My mother's membership card |
Membership in Girl & Boy Scouts, 4H & other clubs is great information for genealogies.
I'm going to have to slap together a quick post. I loved being in Brownies and Girl Scouts. I was a leader too for my daughter's troop.
ReplyDeleteWendy, My mother, my aunt and I were both Girl Scout leaders. I was also a camp counselor as a teenager. We went spent many hours with Scouts: meetings, trips, badge days, award ceremonies, camp outs. We gave a lot but got many happy memories in return.
ReplyDeleteSuch a great snapshot. And now you've got me wondering whatever happened to my membership card. Sadly long gone.
ReplyDeleteThis is Janet Murray, now McDonald. Your mom was my Girl Scout leader and I graduated with Del. I loved the things your mom taught me in scouts. I was a leader until my daughter became a Cadette. She left a lasting impression on me. I hope all is well with you and your family.
