History and Information

2008 National Convention star
The 51st National GSUSA convention is being held in Indianapolis this year October 30th to November 2nd. As one Girl Scout leader put it, "this could be a major convention in terms of impact on the organization."

Celebrating Juliette Low's Birthday star
The birthday of the founder of Girl Scouts, Juliette Gordon Low, falls on the popular American holiday of Halloween.

College Scholarships and Girl Scouts star
My older daughter´s troop is entering sixth grade and going to middle school. With that transition to middle school or junior high, there is often a drop off in Girl Scout membership. This fact has got me thinking about retention.

Grade Placement versus Age Placement star
GSUSA, or rather the National administration of GSUSA, has determined that henceforth all girls will be assigned levels according to their grade not their age.

More Program Changes star
In my last article, I focused on the name changes that will be in place in the Fall of 2008. Alongside those changes, GSUSA has announced some other change, albeit nothing as tangible as the name changes. This article will focus on the "new" leadership philosophy.

Official GSUSA site on Girl Scout Cookies star[offsite link]
This is the official Girl Scout site on cookie sales. Everything you wanted to know and then some about cookie sales.

Programming Changes in 2008 star
I have been a member of Girl Scouts for a long time, close to 30 years at this point. I have been involved as a girl, a volunteer, a leader, a member of the service unit, and a parent. Over those years, the program has changed, and it is set to change again in Fall 2008.

Still More Program Changes star
I had so much fun writing about the new program changes that amount to nothing new in my book, that I thought I would complete the trilogy this week with an article focusing on the rest of the information I have related to the changes.

Studio 2B star[offsite link]

Studio 2B: Action for Older Girls star
Studio 2B is the latest and greatest offering for older Girl Scouts.

Summer of Controversy star
The Girl Scouts are in the news and the news is not all good. I am still sorting out what I think of all the recent press, so I thought I would provide all of you with the links to some of the recent articles and ask if any of you have thoughts or have read other articles, please email me.

Summer of Controversy star
The Girl Scouts are in the news this July, and the news is not all good. In fact, it is downright controversial. I am sorting out what I think of all the recent press, so I thought I would provide you with the links to some of the recent articles and if any of you have thoughts, please email me.

The History of Girl Scouting star

Troop Crest History star
Like so much of US Girl Scout history, the story of troop crests begins in Great Britain. When Juliette Low brought the idea of Girl Scouting to Savannah, she brought along the tradition of patrol crests. Each patrol chose the name of a flower, tree, shrug, or bird as its symbol. The first four c

What's it all About? star
When people think about Girl Scouts, they generally think about cookies. Common sense would suggest, however, that millions of young women do not become Girl Scouts in order to sell those boxes. The Girl Scout program has a foundation in the Promise and Law (see link) but also has four fundamental

Why Join Girl Scouts star

World Centers--Pax Lodge star
The second World Center to open its doors was the London house named Our Ark House in 1939. Renamed Olave House in 1963, the London facilities were rebuilt and reopened in 1990 as Pax Lodge.
