On My Honor: Girl Scouts Since 1912 October 24, 2008

Girl Scouting builds girls of courage, confidence and character, who make the world a better place. Relive your own Girl Scout days, through hundreds of artifacts, vintage uniforms, and photos. Gather in a recreated campsite, page through scrapbooks, and have fun with friends as you attend an imaginary meeting.Special patches for participation are available.

Related programs include a Girl Scout “sing” and other special programs. From historic artifacts dating back to 1917 to a common recreated camp scene area where visitors can experience a simulated fire for sing-a-longs, the museum’s exhibition tries to capture the essence of being a Girl Scout.

Special programming related to scouting activities and badges will also be features. In addition the exhibition will address the contemporary goals of the scouts which encourage girls to 1)develop self-potential, 2)relate to others, 3)develop values, and 4)contribute to society while also tracing the history fo scouting and the changing attitudes about women’s roles, competencies, and responsibilities.
