Celebrating Daisy's Birthday the Girls Scout Way

Tradition holds that Daisy made a habit of standing on her head and doing a cartwheel each year on her birthday. Juliette Gordon Low (Daisy), was born on October 31, 1860, and founded Girl Scouts in the United States on March 12th, 1912. "Daisy" wanted to prove she could still keep up with the Girl Scouts.

On Saturday, October 8th Girl Scouts from Whitehall Troop 3719 joined the Belgrad Service Unit for a day of fun at the Montana Corn Maze in Manhattan. This annual tradition is to honor the memory of founder Juliette Gordon Low's Birthday. Part of this event is a service project to create "Birthday Bags" to donate to local food banks. They can be given to families in need of supplies to celebrate their loved one's birthday. Girls fill gift bags with plates, napkins, box cake mix, and frosting along with other birthday supplies.
