National Girl Scout Day– March 12, 2022

Steel your resolve. Dieters, beware! There are Girl Scouts everywhere, and they’re all trying to offer you kryptonite … aka, their most tasty cookies. Whether your preferred flavor is minty Thin Mints or gooey Tagalongs, we can all agree that Girl Scout cookies make the world go round. They’re so good, they are worthy of a vacation. And they have one … of sorts. Prepare yourself to commemorate this March 12, since it’s National Girl Scout Day! Part of Girl Scout Week, National Girl Scout Day commemorates the anniversary of the first Girl Scout conference. In 1912, Juliette “Daisy” Gordon Low organized the conference in Savannah, Georgia. And Girl Scouts has actually only grown from there! So get a cookie (or 12) and prepare to commemorate.

NATIONAL GIRL SCOUT DAY ACTIVITIES.
Buy some cookies.
Yes, you check out that sentence right. We’re providing you the reason you have actually been longing for to head out and purchase those cookies! 100% of the cash from cookie sales returns into the organization. Even more, all the money you spend stays local. That means instead of funding Girl Scouts HQ, your cash is assisting directly support your community and its advancement. Personally, we believe that’s quite amazing!

Develop your own Girl Scout badge.
Okay, so you’re probably too old to run out and join Girl Scouts (and if you’re not, we hope you’re using the web with parental guidance). You can do the next best thing and produce badges for yourself. Set obstacles and then provide yourself badges when you finish them! Have you always wanted to attempt a new walking but could never find the inspiration? Create a wilderness explorer badge! We’re overemphasizing, however you understand.

Hang out with your preferred Girl Scout.
Either way, invest a little time with them this National Girl Scout Day and let them know how loved and valued they are. Girl Scouts is all about raising girls up, and you can support that objective this March 12.

WHY WE LOVE NATIONAL GIRL SCOUT DAY.
Girl Scouts empowers girls.
The Girl Scout mission is to” [develop] girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place.” How could we not enjoy an organization who wants to create effective women? We need the next generation to be both clever and selfless, and Girl Scouts is trying to accomplish simply that. Queen Bey describes it much better than we ever could: “Who run the world? Women!”.

Their cookies are scrumptious, darn it.
Excuse our French; we get very excited about Girl Scout cookies. We do not desire to stop consuming them! We will happily offer up being healthy or in staying in shape if it indicates we can consume mass amounts of these terrific cookies.

They taught everyone we understand how to make lanyards.
Let’s be genuine– none of us would understand how to make lanyards without a Girl Scout. Whether you made your first lanyard in summer season camp or on the elementary school play ground, you found out how to do it from a Girl Scout. We don’t know exactly why all Girl Scouts make lanyards, but we have actually all enjoyed the advantages.
