Girl Scouts of North-Central Alabama hosted a Founder’s Day event to reconnect former Girl Scouts and friends at Camp Coleman in Trussville on Sunday, Oct. 30, from 2 to 4 p.m. The council hosted walking tours of the camp, conducted a traditional flag ceremony, displayed local Girl Scout memorabilia and served refreshments.
Founder’s Day celebrations were also held at Kanawahala Program Center in Chelsea, Camp Trico in Guntersville, the Decatur Girl Scout Little House and Camp Cottaquilla in Anniston.
Girl Scouts of North-Central America has over 13,000 members — 9,500 girls and 4,000 adults in 36 counties in the state of Alabama who believe girls can change the world. It began over 100 years ago with one woman, Girl Scouts’ founder Juliette Gordon “Daisy” Low, who believed in the power of every girl. She organized the first Girl Scout troop on March 12, 1912, in Savannah, Georgia, and every year since we’ve made her vision a reality, helping girls discover their strengths, passions, and talents.
Girl Scouts continue the mission of building girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place. Girl Scouts is the preeminent leadership development organization for girls. Girl Scouts of North-Central Alabama is a United Way partner.
