New Girl Scout Patch Gets Federal Support
Posted by admin under: program .
The official blog for the Girl Scouts of the USA has a story featuring a new patch program in the Washington D.C. area about being prepared. The kickoff for this new program was promoted by no less than the Secretary for the Department of Homeland Security, Janet Napolitano , who mentioned that Girl Scouts was one of the driving influences in her own life. What a great coup for the GSUSA to have such a high-ranking government official backing the program and appearing in person to help launch it!
Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano, a proud Girl Scout alumna and lifetime member, credited Girl Scouts as providing her first lessons on preparedness and leadership. She encouraged girls to join and stay in Girl Scouting to learn the skills necessary for courageous leadership.
It’s not every day when Scouting can score somebody of this magnitude to speak on its behalf. Way to go GSUSA! If you want to find out about this program, click on over to the Girl Scout Council of the Nation’s Capital websitefor details and the downloadable booklet for completing the program.
