Kick Off a New Year Girl Scouts of the Compass Rose Service Unit celebrated the end of summer with a Back to School Social at the end of August. Nearly 200 girls gathered at the Coles Crossing Community Park to enjoy ice cream sundaes and activities designed to kick off the new year. This will be a great year of celebration for all Girl Scouts as they celebrate their 100th anniversary. Girl Scouting was founded in 1912 by Juliette Gordon Low. At their social, Compass Rose Girl Scouts made a banner declaring “Why We Love Girl Scouts: 100s of Reasons for 100 Years.” Many Compass Rose Girl Scouts also gathered on the last Saturday in August for Daisy Day at the Coles Crossing Park. This was an opportunity for Kindergarten girls to explore Girl Scouts. Girl Scouts in Kindergarten and 1st Grade are known as Daisies. Older Scouts played games and sang songs with their new young friends. They even made SWAPS together. Swaps are “Special Whatchamacallits Affectionately Pinned Somewhere.” These are small crafted pins that Girl Scouts exchange to remember a special event or special friend. Another special event coming up is Juliette Low’s birthday on October 31. Compass Rose Girl Scouts will celebrate with a roller skating party and service project. These are just a few of the many fun things that Girl Scouts do as they strive to build courage, confidence and character. Find out more: LaceyC@ entouch.net.
