Empowering women since 1912: The girl scouts of America

摘要

Imagine this: you are walking through your local shopping mall, it's 7:12 pm, March 12, 2012, when all of a sudden hundreds of girls appear and begin to speak in unison saying "On my honor, I will try: To serve God and my country, To help people at all times, And to live by the Girl Scout Law." (The Pledge can be said in sign and other languages. Girl Scout policy states that the word "God" may be interpreted depending on individual spiritual beliefs. When reciting the Girl Scout Promise, "God" maybe substituted with the word dictated by those beliefs.) And then they break out dancing to the "Commodore's Celebrate." This column is dedicated to Catherine Young and Francis Soules who brought girl scounting to Sturgis, Michigan in 1945.
