Girl Scouts 110th Anniversary Gets Boost From Jersey Shore Chapter

HOWELL, N.J.— The Girl Scouts organization is marking its 110th anniversary, and Girl Scouts of the Jersey Shore has a Giving Day planned to celebrate.

"We are asking supporters to make a gift to Girl Scouts of the Jersey Shore on Giving Day and invest in the next generation of changemakers who are making the world a better place for us all, said Carla Scarabino, vice president of external affairs for Girl Scouts of the Jersey Shore.

For 110 years, Girl Scouts have found a way to create a better future for themselves, their communities, and the world, organizers say.

In 1912, Juliette Gordon Low founded the Girl Scout Movement with 18 girls who wanted to make the world a better place and believed they could do anything they put their minds to. That small gathering ignited a movement that continues to this day—one where every girl can unlock her full potential, find lifelong friends, and make the world a better place, the organization said.
