The Girl Scouts organization has been an American tradition for more than ninety years.On March 12, 1912, Juliette Gordon Low gathered 18 girls from Savannah, Georgia, for the first Girl Scout meeting.Just a few years later, on June 10, 1915, Girl Scouts, Inc.was born when the organization was incorporated.By 1920, there were nearly 70,000 Girl Scouts nationwide.Today, the organization has grown to include almost 3.8 million members.But while the Girl Scouts of decades past wore the traditional green uniform with merit badges sewn to a sash, today's Girl Scouts are more likely to be wearing a T-shirt and bracelet with collectible charms that indicate different achievements.The activities of today's Girl Scouts are also different from those of yesteryear.In the past, members were likely to hone their cooking skills or make crafts out of pine cones.Today, however, the girls are more likely to focus on contemporary topics like financial planning, computer software, dating, and international travel.Their meeting schedule is also more flexible to accommodate the busier lifestyles of today's young women.
