January 31st marks the launch of the
Girl Scouts centennial celebration. 2012 begins the Year of the Girl campaign
coupled with a larger cause campaign, ToGetHerThere.org focused on
balanced leadership in one generation.
This morning, Katie Couric
interviewed our National CEO, Anna Maria Chavez, and spoke with GMA host Robin
Roberts about Girl Scouts. Check out the full interview here.
Creative Christmas: Troop 482 paid a visit to their local assisted living home in Cedar Park
this past holiday season. The Cadette troop made and decorated festive pins for
the residents to wear. During their stay, the girls sang a variety of holiday
music and spoke about the upcoming 100th Anniversary. A few of the
girls had the honor of conversing with a 95-year-old resident who started with
Girl Scouts in the beginning. Thank you Troop 482 for giving back this holiday
season! Did you or your troop give back during the holidays? Share with us onFacebook!
Toys
for Tots: More than 100 San Marcos Girl Scouts showed
up last month to participate in a local toy drive. The drive was hosted by
Marine’s Toys for Tots and the foundation collected truckloads of toys. Since
1991, the foundation has collected 81.3 million toys and made lots of less
fortunate kids have a happy holiday. Great job girls for helping collect toys!
