GIRL SCOUT ACTION STORY
An adult should read this story and ask the girls to make motions as key words are read. When the word
WORLD
is read, stand and turn around. When
JULIETTE LOW
is read, join hands with the girl next to you. When
SCOUT
or
SCOUTING
is read, smile and salute.
Once upon a time there was a lady whose name was
JULIETTE LOW
. She became interested in
SCOUTING
through her friends, Lord and Lady Baden-Powell, when she visited them. The Baden-Powells lived in England which is in a different part of the
WORLD
from which we live. They started Boy
SCOUTING
and Girl
SCOUTING
there.
JULIETTE LOW
thought
SCOUTING
was a wonderful idea. When she came back to America, she decided to start a
SCOUT
troop here, so on March 12, 1912, in her home town of Savannah, Georgia,
JULIETTE LOW
started the first Girl
SCOUT
troop in this part of the
WORLD
.
After that, she traveled all over our country helping to start more Girl
SCOUT
troops.
JULIETTE LOW
believed
SCOUTING
was such a fine thing that she wanted to seee
SCOUT
troops in all parts of the
WORLD
. She knew that
SCOUTING
would help girls all over the
WORLD
to become friends and would help towards
WORLD
peace and good will.
Girl
SCOUTING
grew and grew until now every Girl
SCOUT
- Brownie, Junior, Cadette, and Senior, is not only a member of her own little troop, but she is also a member of the Girl
SCOUTS
of the United States of America and the
WORLD
Association of Girl Guides and Girl
SCOUTS
.
After
JULIETTE LOW
died in 1927, her friends decided that the greatest tribute that could be paid to such a charming lady would be to continue working toward the realization of her dream of
WORLD
friendship. A memorial fund was started and called the
JULIETTE LOW
Friendship Fund. Each year all
SCOUTS
in the United States are given the opportunity to bring money for this fund which helps
SCOUTING
all over the
WORLD
.
When the
SCOUTS
drop your money into the
JULIETTE LOW
WORLD
Friendship Fund box, you can't imagine the far places of the
WORLD
to which this money will travel and the ways it will help
SCOUTS
. Maybe your money will help buy a
SCOUT
uniform for a girl in Belgium who can't afford one. Maybe your money will help send some older
SCOUT
from our country to Our Chalet, an international camp in Switzerland, where
SCOUTS
from all over the
WORLD
get together to learn more about each other. Or maybe you will be helping, with your money, to start new
SCOUT
troops in other countries.
No one knows to what parts of the
WORLD
this money may travel. No one knows the way in which it will one day come back to us in new interests and new friends. But we all know that as we give our money to the
JULIETTE LOW
WORLD
Friendship Fund, we are helping to spread Girl
SCOUTING
around the
WORLD
.
