SAVANNAH, GA --
It’s been years in the making…100 to be exact; one hundred years of lessons and learning for girls here and across the country.
Saturday, more than three thousand past and present Girl Scouts walked across the Talmadge Bridge to help celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Girls Scouts of America.
A bridge is an important thing for a girl scout.
It represents the transition from one stage in the scouting program to the next. And while the journey might be full of twists and turns, there is a lot to learn along the way.
The girl scouts of America has been teaching that life lesson to young women since 1912 and 100 years later, they are showing no signs of slowing down.
Margaret Scheme is one of the organization’s fearless leaders. She says the event is very powerful.
“My heart is just full because it’s all about the generations, and the telling of their stories. That makes it so important. Its meeting people at events like this, it makes an impact on your life.”
And the impact is lasting. Women and girls have come from all over the country to take part in this historical celebration. CLICK HERE TO READ MORE
