Girl Scout History

The Girl Scouting movement began in the United States in March 1912 when Juliette

Gordon Low started the first troop in Savannah, Georgia. Inspired by her friendship withLord Baden Powell, founder of the Boy Scouts in the United Kingdom, Low wanted to pro-vide a similar opportunity for the girls in America. Although her first troop only had 18members, the Girl Scout movement has since grown to include over 4 million girls in theUnited States alone.

Girl Scouts is, as it always has been, the organization best positioned to offer girls the toolsthey need to be successful leaders now and throughout their lives. As Girl Scouting ap-proaches its 100th anniversary, the movement is using its expertise and input from girls tocreate a completely new approach for what girls do in Girl Scouting, how they do it and howthey will benefit.

The New Girl Scout Leadership Experience identifies three keys to leadership Dis-cover: Girls understand themselves and their values and use their knowledge and skills toexplore the world. Connect: Girls care about, inspire and team up with others locally andglobally.Take Action: Girls act to make the world a better place. All experiences in GirlScouting incorporate the Discover, Connect and Take Action keys to leadership. When Dis-cover, Connect and Take Action activities are girl-led and involve learning by doing andcoperative learning, girls achieve the desired and expected short-term leadership outcomes,ultimately resulting in Girl Scouting achieving its mission.

The Girl Scouts of the USA is the organization that governs the Movement in the UnitedStates. GSUSA charters individual Girl Scout councils to deliver the Girl Scout Program togirls on a local level.

Black Diamond History

Black Diamond Girl Scout Council was formed in 1974 when four councils merged.

Mountain Laurel - Charleston-Huntington, WV area.Upper Ohio Valley - Northern Panhandle of WV and several counties in Southeastern Ohio.Vandalia - North Central and Eastern WVFour Rivers - Athens, Ohio and Parkersburg, WV

Originally chartered as Black Diamond Girl Scout Council, the new council's name was cho-sen through a contest. Girls from throughout the council's jurisdiction were invited to submittheir names. In April 2000, delegates voted to change the council name to Girl Scouts ofBlack Diamond Council as a symbol that girls are always first.

KIM'S GAME - Version 1

In this game an item is presented to represent each part of the story. At the end of the story, youhide all the items and see how many the girls can remember. Associating an item with each part ofthe story helps the girls to remember the story of Juliette Low.

Juliette Low was the founder of Girl Scouting. I'd like to tell you a little about her life:

Juliette was born on Oct 31, 1860 - Halloween (Hold up a pumpkin)

Her uncle took one look at her and said, "She looks like a Daisy" - this nickname stuck withher for the rest of her life (Hold up silk Daisy)

Juliette always loved animals, especially horses. (Show toy horse)

She also loved to draw and paint pictures - so much, that she created children's magazine withall of the articles and pictures done by children (Show crayons, colored pencils or paint

brushes) Juliette married Willie Gordon Low in 1886. (Hold up wedding ring)

Some of the rice thrown at their wedding became lodged in Juliette's left ear, causing her tobecome deaf in this ear (Show baggie of rice)

Juliette and Willie both loved adventure, so together they decided to move to England(Hold up sailboat)

Once in England, Juliette met Lord & Lady Baden-Powell. She very much enjoyed what theyhad done with the Boy Scout movement (Hold up picture of a boy)

Willie passed away while they lived in England, Juliette returned to Georgia and made the fa-mous phone call which was heard around the United States, "Come on over to my house to-night, we are going to hold the first Girl Scout meeting!" (Hold up telephone)

As with all Girl Scout troops, money was needed to keep the program running, so Juliette soldthe pearl necklace Willie had given her for a wedding present. (Show strand of pearls)

Girl Scouting in the USA was born on March 12, 1912 and continues today with over 4 mil-lion members. (Hold up GS pin)

Now, cover up all the items you have been showing, divide girls into teams and give them a shortperiod of time to list all the items. See how much they remember of the story!

JULIETTE LOW GAME

Starting Point: Each patrol of girls receives a note saying Juliette Low started Girl Scouting in Sa-vannah by telephoning a friend. The first clue will be by the telephone (real or play phone).

1st Point: The first clue told them where to find a person with a daisy. That person also has a pa-per pumpkin. Say "Juliette Low was born on Halloween, so draw a nose, mouth, or eyes to start aJack-o-Lantern." Then show the patrol where the trail, marked with paper pumpkins, starts andtell them to follow it.

2nd Point: At the end of the pumpkin trail will be an adult. Tell them that Juliette Low liked toput on plays. Ask the patrol to choose and act out a Halloween character. When you guess whatthey are acting out, make a trail sign to show the team which way to go.(To make a trail sign, use leaves, twigs, etc. to make an arrow in the direction they need to go ORuse a branch to mark in the dirt; have this ready, but perhaps covered.)

3rd Point: At this point, there will be an adult dressed as an Indian. Tell them that Juliette Low'sgrandmother was captured by Indians and lived with them. Her Indian name was Little-Ship-Under-Full-Sail. If the patrol can tell you which way is north by looking at the sky (sun/moon),the Indian will give them a sketch map to the next point.

4th Point: The map leads the patrol to a person with an American flag. She says that the firsthandbook was called "How Girls Can Help Their Country". She asks them to tell her two ways aGirl Scout can be a good citizen on a hike. Then ask them to fold the flag. Then direct them to atrail marked with red ribbons.

5th Point: At the end of the red ribbon trail, meet the team and say that Juliette Low has friendsall over the world. Ask the patrol to show how they would greet a Girl Guide from another coun-try; answer: special Girl Scout handshake. Then she says that Juliette Low camped with manygirls and was a good storyteller.

Direct them back to the meeting place.

JULIETTE LOW AND GIRL SCOUTING(An Action Story)

As the story is read, players do the following actions when certain words are said. Practice the mo-tion first so everyone understands. This is easier to play standing up.

"JULIETTE LOW" - Join hands with persons on right and left"SCOUT OR SCOUTING"- Smile and salute"WORLD" - Spin around onceFUND - Punch a button with one finger and say cha-ching

In 1912, Juliette Low became interested in scouting while visiting her friends, Lord and Lady Ba-den-Powell, who lived in England and who started Boy Scouting and Girl Guiding in their part of

the world.

When Juliette Low came back to America, she thought scouting was so wonderful that she de-cided to start the first Girl Scout Troop in her own home town of Savannah, Georgia. This shedid on March 12, 1912 and this first little troop of eighteen girls was the first girl scout troop inthis part of the world.

This first Girl Scout troop was so successful that Juliette Low wanted to see Girl Scout troops allover the world. She knew that Girl Scouting would help girls all over the world become friendsand to help build world peace and good will.

Girl Scouting grew and grew until now you are not only a member of your own little troop, but

also a member of the Girl Scouts of the USA and the World Association of the Girl Guides andGirl Scouts.

Juliette Low died in 1927 and her friends wanted to pay her a great tribute. They knew that hergreatest dream was of world friendship and of world peace and that she hoped to accomplish thisthrough Girl Scouting. So her friends started a memorial fund in her honor and called it the Juli-ette Low World Friendship Fund and each year all Girl Scouts in the United States contributed tothis Fund which helps Girl Scouting all over the world.

Your contributions to this Fund will travel to all parts of the world and help Girl Scouts in manyways; maybe it will help to send older Girl Scouts from our country to Our Chalet in Switzerland,where Girl Scouts from all over the world get together to exchange ideas and to help build world

peace.

We have no way of knowing how far our contribution may travel; we have no way of knowingwhat ways it may be returned to us in new friendships and world peace. But we do know that theJuliette Low World Friendship Fund is doing a lot of good. We do know that we are helping thefund to spread Girl Scouting around the world when we make our contribution to the JulietteLow World Friendship Fund.

DIGITAL STORY WEAVING

Invite people to share their stories about their past Girl Scout experiences and theirdreams for a Girl Scout future to make the word a better place. Girl Scouts of ages

love to tell their storiesaround the campfire, at troop meetings, in there homesand at council events. Storytelling can be used as a medium to build Girl Scoutleadership and a sense of community.

Set-up a system to digitally record the stories that are told by current and formerGirl Scouts in your community.

Set up a weaving loom for the storytellers to artistically represent themselves in aGirl Scout community weaving piece. Once the story is told, have the participanttake a strip of material and weave it in and out of the loom cords. Invite thestory participants to add a S.W.A.P. item into the weaving piece as a token of

friendship, either as a representative of our Black Diamond Council history orour the future of the Girl Scout movement. (Seewww.makingfriends.com forS.W.A.P. ideas.)

Either create a little movie or transcribe the stories that have been told. Share the information collected at a special troop, service unit, cluster or council

presentation opportunity. Consider a place to display the weaving art piece that was created.
