To the Editor:
April 22 is designated as National Girl Scout Leader’s Day. Girl Scout volunteer leaders have been positively impacting girl’s lives since the beginning of Girl Scouting in 1912 when Juliette Gordon Low organized the first Girl Scout Troop in Savannah, Georgia. These leaders are often beacons for girls as they approach womanhood. They provide a foundation of confidence, experience, respect and courage that stays with a young woman throughout her lifetime. A year has passed and we are still in the process of dealing with the coronavirus pandemic. But the Girl Scout volunteers have been going strong to see that the girls stay safe and still can experience activities, events, and badge work to keep them involved with the Girl Scout program.
