First Appearance this year was Mistress of Ceremonies for GSUSA-Fort Worth

I can remember in 1977 walking into my first Girl Scouts of America weekly meeting on Wednesday afternoon. I can say that the GSUSA organization taught me skills that I still use today. My family was not well off and economically challenged at times, but I can honestly say that Girls Scouts was one of the highlights of my childhood.

In 1912 Juliette Gordon Low-met Robert Baden-Powell (founder of scouting), and as soon as she returned home to Savannah Georgia she called her cousin stating that she had something for the girls of Savannah, all of America, and the World and we are going to start it tonight.

Young ladies get involved into the community, sales, and working on achieving milestones. Girl Scouts helps develop skills and friendships that they will carry through their lives.

Next year is 2012 and GSUSA is 100 years old. April 26, 2011 I was asked to be the Mistress of Ceremonies for the Texas/Oklahoma Plains for the Fort Worth Branch. It was an incredible evening and I look forward to being involved in the GSUSA organization for many years.
