The Year of the Girl

As part of the 100 year celebration of Girl Scouts, local troops were invited to contact their local officials and ask for each city's mayor to make a proclamation.

Our Ferndale Mayor, Mr. Jensen, made an official proclamation and made 2012 the "Year of the Girl".
He applauded the Girl Scouts for their "courage, confidence and character to act to make our world a better place".

Our girls were asked to perform the flag ceremony at the City Council meeting when the proclamation was made.  They did a GREAT job!!! :)  It was a PACKED house!!!  (Thus making pictures VERY hard to take!! :) )

In this 100th year of Girl Scouts, a thank you is in order to Girl Scouting, which has helped build more than 50 million girls and women of courage, confidence and character who act to make the world a better place!!!

Way to go girls!!!
