McDonald's and The Walt Disney Company—in association with UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization)—are presenting a program called Millennium Dreamers. This program encourages 8 to 15 year-olds to share their contributions to their community. (There are two age levels: 8-11 and 12-15.) Recipients of the Millennium Dreamers Awards will receive a trip to Orlando, Florida, for a global celebration and international children's summit in May 2000. Official nomination forms from the United States must be postmarked by November 30, 1999 and mailed to: Millennium Dreamers, P.O. Box 466132, Laurenceville, GA 30042-6132. Candidates must be nominated by an adult not related to the child or living in the same household. Each nominated Millennium Dreamer must describe his/her contribution in 150 words or less. Further information can be downloaded from the http://www.mcdonalds.com or http://www.disney.com Web sites.
The Salvation Army's 15th annual Coats for Kids drive is under way throughout October.
Residents of the Portland and Vancouver, Washington areas are encouraged to donate coats that are still wearable to dry cleaners that display a red "happy heart" coat in their window. The cleaners collect the coats, clean them, and deliver them to the Salvation Army. The coats will be distributed in mid-November to needy children in the area.
There are more than 45 dry cleaners that will accept the donated coats. For a list of participating cleaners, call 503-239-1226. To find out how to receive a donated coat, call a Salvation Army service office. In Vancouver call 360-892-9050.
There are nine locations in our area participating in this project, I have listed them below for your reference.
After looking up the addresses of these cleaners, some have multiple locations so it would be best to call to verify which location is participating.
The Neighborhood cookie training for this year has been set for December 13 from 7-7:30 p.m. at Hearthwood. Each troop should have a “Cookie Manager” chosen by then and she/he needs to attend the meeting. No troops will be allowed to sell cookies without this vital training. Supplies for the Cookie sales will be distributed at this meeting.
EUREKA, Missouri (AP) -- A wagon carrying members of a Girl Scout troop on a hayride careened down a hill and overturned Friday night, killing a 12-year-old passenger and injuring at least 20 others.
The injured girls were among 24 thrown from the wagon at the Rocking J Ranch, about 10 miles north of Eureka. The rig crashed into some trees after it came loose.
According to the sheriff's department, something went wrong with the tractor pulling the wagon. The driver told investigators it went out of gear while he was driving it, but authorities were checking other potential causes, including whether the brakes were faulty.
The wagon was the last of three carrying 72 scouts from the St. Raphael School in St. Louis. They were members of Brownie, Daisy and Junior troops at the school.
Witnesses said the trees and hilly terrain prevented helicopters from landing close to the accident scene. The victims had to be carried on stretchers to helicopters and other vehicles.
High Ridge Fire Chief Steve Davis said one of the injured girls was in critical condition Friday night and two were in serious condition. An adult, 30, was also among the injured. Authorities said Rocking J Ranch has offered hayrides for at least six years.

Here is your chance to make some money for your troop in a proven way. The special year 2000 Girl Scout calendar nets quick profits for troops and features Girl Scouts. If you are interested in more information or plan on ordering some calendars for your troop to sell, contact Roxanne G.
There are DOZENS of ways to do almost anything in scouting. Each can be as "right" as the others. So, relax and use your common sense!
If you don't know how to do something (or even if you do) ask the girls how they would do it - and if there is no clear danger to life, limb or other folks' property - let them.
Polish up your sense of humor. Have fun!
Speaking of mothers - If you are one, shift gears, love the girls and worry about them sometimes, of course, but you are not their parent, you are their friend.
Doing is a great way to learn and grow, and learning and growing are what Girl Scouting is all about.
That is a great gift to any young person -- a place to learn from mistakes without the penalty of being marked a failure.
Use learning events and watch other leaders; to experiment, practice and learn by doing.

We use post-its to plan our year. The first 1-2 meetings are for planning. Start with giving each girl several post-it notes. Tell them to write down everything that they think they would like to do in GS's this year. Take them up and tally them--DO NOT ELIMINATE ANY IDEAS. After the tally is made, hand out 1 or more copies of Safety Wise and let the GIRLS look up each activity to find out what rules there are about them. They will find out if any are a no-no and that way you are not the bad guy for saying NO. They go through council/service unit events already scheduled and put on monthly calendars (I print out from computer program), then have the girls pick an activity and put it on the calendars--thus the year is planned. You can always leave out something or alter the schedule as needed later on. This way you can gear badges towards activities they want to do and fill in with other requirements in the month(s) that the activities are in.
You might have a fun get together type activity especially if you have new girls so the girls can get to know each other. Maybe a sleep over, pizza party, kidnap breakfast, cookout, etc.
The one thing I preach is "MAKE SURE TO DO ANY ACTIVITY YOURSELF PRIOR TO A MEETING." This will make sure that it works (such as the invisible ink in the Daisy Handbook that didn't for me) as well as figure out how long it actually takes to do.
Juliette Gordon Low, the Founder of Girl Scouts in the United States, was born on October 31, 1860. Therefore, Halloween Day is known as Founder's Day here in the U.S. Founder's Day ceremonies often include information about Juliette Low and her life or about early Girl Scouting. Contributions are often made to the Juliette Low World Friendship Fund (a fund used to spread Girl Scouting throughout the world as well as to help fund international travel for girls) as part of a Founder's Day ceremony.
Mark your calendars for the December Neighborhood Meeting on the 13th. It will be immediately following the Cookie Training. WE know that December is an especially busy month, but we will still be looking forward to seeing each and every one of you! Times are 7:30 – 8:30 p.m.
If you are wearing your uniform and/or pin tonight you already know that you earned some Leader Bucks. If your troop news is listed here, that’s some more “Leader Bucks”. Have you signed up for working on an event? Yep, “Leader Bucks” again! Ask a Service Team member how you, too, can start earning these important and fun “Leader Bucks”.
Investiture and rededication ceremonies can be done in various ways, and the two can be easily combined for established troops wishing to welcome new members.
Here are a few reminders and ideas:
Saying the Girl Scout Promise can be done individually or as a group, depending on the age of the person(s) being invested. Investiture should be a special time, not a scary one.
At this time, Daisies may also receive their beginning certificate.
The girl should understand (as much as possible for her age level) that when she is invested, she is agreeing to subscribe to the values and principals of the Girl Scout Promise and Law.
If you have girls/adults rededicating and investing at the same ceremony, do the rededicating first - then those girls and adults can assist with investiture.
In the early days of Girl Scouting, troop crests were used to identify a troop. The rapid growth of the movement soon made numbering necessary, but crests were kept as a symbol of a troop's goal or main interest.
Troop ____ did not have a crest, so we started by looking carefully about the crest we should choose. We looked at the meaning behind each symbol used, and we encouraged the girls to select one that would have a special meaning to them, one they can pass along to new members each year.
The troop crest symbol can be used on a troop flag or to mark troop equipment. Every member from here on out should know what our crest is and what it means. A new crest will not be chosen ever again for Troop ____ - our crest will now be used for the life of a troop. When new girls enter our troop, they will take on the crest of our troop. So, as you can see, tonight is very special, as we all take on our new troop crest.
We gather today as Girl Scouts, sisters to all Girl Scouts around the world. Our Troop is only one of many around the world, but we share the same goals, as stated in the Girl Scout Promise.
Like many troops before us, we are unique as each of our girls are individuals. Each girl is important to the Troop and is a vital part of our Troop spirit. This spirit is what ties us together - to each other and to Girl Scouts around the world. We share the same values, as spoken in the Girl Scout Law.
We, Troop # ____, have chosen the ________ as our Troop Crest.
We have chosen this because: (insert your own wording focused around the meaning of that particular crest and the "spirit" of your girls/troop.)
I now will present each girl with a troop crest to be proudly worn on her uniform. I hope it will remind each scout of our Troop spirit.
Girls begin this ceremony more as observers.
"But what would the world be like if we each stopped serving God and our country?" (Leader blows out one candle)
"What would the world be like if we each stopped helping people in need?" (Leader blows out more one candle)
"What would the world be like if we each stopped living by the Girl Scout Law?" (Leader blows out one more candle)
"What would the world be like if we choose to be dishonest and self-serving" (Leaders blows out one more candle)
Follow this pattern through the Law, until all candles are blown out and the room is dark. Pause
"If we choose this path, our world becomes very dark." Pause
"But I, _______ make a commitment today to serve God and my country" (Re-light first candle)
"Who else wants to renew their commitment to the Girl Scout Promise and Law?"
Allow the girls to re-light each candle while they say their part of the Promise and Law: "I _____ make a commitment to ________(be honest and fair etc.)
Close with a favorite Girl Scout ceremony song:
On My Honor, Change the World, Girl Scouts Together, Whene’re You Make a Promise, or Just One Girl
"May our lights shine and may we brighten our world."
Use 3 white candles for each part of the Promise. Use 10 white candles tied with specified color ribbon for each Law. Each person reads line and then lights candle.
On my honor I will try
Sing "Whene'er You Make A Promise"
I will do my best to be (said all together)

Neighborhood Co-Chairs……Deb W / Roxanne G / Judy C
That woman was Juliette Low, and the gift she brought to America from a sojourn abroad was Girl Scouting.
From one small group of girls in Savannah, Georgia, the Girl Scout movement has grown to become the largest organization for girls annually serving well over 3.5 million girls ages 5 - 17.
Juliette Low's vision for Girl Scouts is as relevant today as it was in 1912:
But just who was this lady? ………….
Juliette Magill Kinzie Gordon Low was the founder of Girl Scouting in the U.S.A.. She was born on October 31, 1860 in Savannah, Georgia to a very prominent family -just a few months before the Civil War began. She was named for her grandmother, but was given the nickname "Daisy" soon after she was born. As a child she was very fond of animals, she loved drawing, and other artistic subjects, but she had trouble with mathematics and spelling.
On December 21, 1886, when she was 26 years old, Daisy Gordon married Willy Low. He was charming and handsome and from a very prominent family. At the time, she had already lost some of her hearing in one ear, and as she was leaving the ceremony, a grain of rice landed in her good ear and the doctor who removed it punctured her eardrum. Eventually, she became almost totally deaf. After a few months, she went to live in England with her husband. Her British life was very much a continuation of the one she had in America, except that her friends and companions now had names famous in English history, and for the most part lived in castles, or manor houses or, in some instances, palaces. Their happiness together did not last and Daisy and Willy had agreed to divorce. Before proceedings were finalized, Willy became very ill and died in 1905.
Daisy met General Sir Robert Baden-Powell in 1910. He had founded the Boy Scouts and was a British military hero. They had a lot in common (a mutual interest in sculpting, among other things) and enjoyed each others company. Daisy looked to Sir Robert as an inspiration. She decided to help with the Girl Guides that his sister Miss Agnes Baden-Powell was forming of the nearly 6 thousand girls who registered when Sir Robert formed the Boy Scouts.
Daisy was 51 years old when she moved back to the U.S. to start Girl Scouts. Her niece, who was also named Daisy Gordon, was the first Girl Scout in the United States. She found a joy and a purpose in life in the organization of Girl Scouts and worked relentlessly for many years establishing a solid foundation for the movement. She personally donated, secured, and financed much of the Girl Scouting program needs in the United States for the first few years and her generosity was also felt overseas. She spent time at camps and knew many of the girls well. Although she never had any children of her own, she was loved by many all over the world.
She found it useful to exaggerate her deafness when she pretended not to hear friends who tried to beg off commitments to work for the Scouts. Her lifelong eccentricity and love of "stunts" were enlisted in the cause. She would trim her hat with carrots and parsley and go to a fashionable luncheon. "Oh, is my trimming sad?" she would ask as the vegetables drooped. "I can't afford to have this hat done over -- I have to save all my money for my Girl Scouts. You know about the Scouts, don't you?" Soon all America did, thanks to the woman they lovingly called the founder of Girl Scouting.
Daisy Low died on January 18, 1927 at home in Savannah after a long illness with cancer. She was buried in her Girl Scout uniform beside her parents in Laurel Grove Cemetery. In the breast pocket of her uniform was a folded telegram she received while she was ill that read "You are not only the first Girl Scout, you are the best Girl Scout of them all." All the Girl Scouts in Savannah lined the steps of Christ Church where the funeral service was conducted to bid farewell to a great woman who inspired them to be great women.
Girls: "But Mom"
Reader: We would like to tell you about the founder of Girl Scouts. Once upon a time there was a girl named Juliette Low, who lived in Georgia. Juliette Low was a very active little girl who loved to organize her friends into clubs. After she grew up, she went to London and there she met Lord Baden-Powell, who was looking for ways to train boys to be self-sufficient and so he founded the Boy Scouts.
Juliette Low was fascinated by the work that Lord Baden-Powell was doing and thought to herself "girls need to learn how to be self-sufficient too, what about Girl Scouts?" So, Juliette Low stayed in London for awhile to study with Lord Baden-Powell. Then she went back to her home in Georgia and asked her many girl friends if they would like to be Girl Scouts. And they loved it so much that the idea spread and now there are Girl Scout and Girl Guide troops all over the world.
(read this part faster)
Aren't we glad that a girl named Juliette Low from Georgia went to London and met Lord Baden-Powell founder of the Boy Scouts, and came home to start the wonderful world of Girl Scouts?
ACTIONS: As the story is read:
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 in England. They started Boy Scouting and Girl Scouting there.
Juliette Low thought Scouting was a wonderful idea. When she returned to America, she decided to start a Scout troop. So on March 12,1912, in her home town, Savannah, Georgia, Juliette Low started the first Girl Scout troop in her part of the world.
After that she traveled all over our country, helping to start more Girl Scout troops. Juliette Low believed Girl Scouting was such a fine thing that she wanted to see Girl Scout troops all over the world. She knew that Girl Scouting would help girls to become friends and would help toward world peace and good will.
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 towards the realization of her dream of world friendship. A memorial fund was started. It was called the Juliette Low World Friendship Fund. Each year all Girl Scouts in the United States are given the opportunity to bring money for this fund which helps Girl Scouting all over the world.
When you Girl Scouts drop your money into your Juliette Low World Friendship Fund box, you can imagine the far places of the world to which this money will travel and the ways it will help Girl Scouts. Maybe your money will help buy a Girl Scout uniform for a girl in Belgium who can’t afford one. Maybe your money will help send some older Girl Scouts from our country to Our Chalet, an International Camp in Switzerland, where Girl Scouts from all over the world get together to learn more about each other. Or maybe your money will be helping to start new Girl Scout troops in other countries.
No one knows to what parts of the world this money may travel. No one knows the ways in which it will one day come back to us in 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.
The fall issue of Leader, now in the hands of its over 800,000 readers across the country, has a dynamic new design and lively features that speak to today’s Girl Scout Adult. Looking like a trendy, upscale publication, the magazine displays bold colors and vibrant pictures of girls having fun, relating, learning, growing strong. The 76-year-old magazine, which up until last issue was called Girl Scout Leader, today sports short, snappy headlines and contemporary articles, which highlight the latest in uniform components, tackle the tough issue of AIDS, and probe the depths of "Teen Power!"
According to a Leader news item announcing the makeover, the magazine was changed "in response to readers’ calls for a more spirited, nuts-and-bolts communications tool" and in an effort to be "in keeping with the commitment to enhance the image of Girl Scouts." The new format, the item reports, emphasizes that the world’s leading organization for girls and women is Girl Scouts. Where Girls Grow Strong.
Girl Scouts has joined Golden Books as an educational partner in a nationwide literacy awareness initiative—the Big Little Golden Books Read In. Girl Scouts and Golden books share a commitment to promoting literacy, and this initiative offers an opportunity to demonstrate that commitment. On September 25, 1999, Girl Scout troop/group members will attend the more than 6,000 Read Ins to be conducted at local community centers, libraries, and retailers nationwide. Free to the public, the Read Ins will have a story hour format and may include local personalities and performers reading to, and entertaining, the children—underscoring that reading is fun. The event is especially targeted to youngsters in the Daisy to Brownie Girl Scout age range.
Read In spokesperson TV journalist Deborah Norville is on the board at Girl Scout Council of Greater New York, and the council will have a strong presence at the main event in New York City, which will feature interactive exhibits, celebrity readers, and a musical show. The council plans to set up a Girl Scout booth, with older girls leading arts and crafts activities and handing out literature. Greater New York expects thousands of its members to attend the Read In as part of its year-long thrust in literacy and its annual Fall Fest program kickoff and is developing a participation patch for the event.

The 11th annual Breakfast for the Homeless is starting to take shape. If your Girl Scout troop is looking for ways to help out without necessarily being at the Breakfast, consult the . Let girls and adults in your Girl Scout troop know they are welcome to join us at the breakfast with their families (it does not have to be a troop event). The days before the breakfast are very busy as well, and lots of help is always needed and appreciated. More committee members are definitely needed. Join us in the behind-the-scenes planning of the Breakfast for the Homeless. If you or your Girl Scout troop would like to help plan, contact Heather Law at the Girl Scout Office (598-6517 or 1-800-338-5248 ext. 6517). Wider Opportunity Applications must be postmarked or delivered to the Girl Scout Service Center by 5:00 p.m., Friday, October 29, 1999. New Moon Magazine will profile 25 girls in the May/June 2000 issue. They are looking for girls who pursue their dreams, have high ambitions and are not afraid to fight injustice; girls who are strong in mind, body and spirit; girls who encourage others to have confidence in their voices. This sounds like all Girl Scouts! To nominate a girl between the ages of 8 and 14, send a 300-word essay to: girl@newmoon.org or Beautiful Girls, Now Moon Publishing, P.O. Box 3620, Duluth, MN 55803-3620. Deadline is November 1.
Join new and experienced Neighborhood Service Team members for training on Saturday, November 6 at the International Air Academy in Vancouver.
