“Do a good turn daily”—isn’t that what all Lowell service clubs strive for? I think so. Doing a good turn daily for yourself, for your neighbor, or for your community, no doubt, is what everyone should do. And, that’s the Girl Scout (and Boy Scout) slogan.
Girl Scouts is the organization that has successfully transformed the way I think, learn, and view every single day. This year, Girl Scouts is celebrating its 100th anniversary. That is, one hundred years of serving girls. It is an organization for girls, by girls. As we embark into a new century of scouting, Girl Scouts and Girl Guides around the globe are gearing up for yet another century of motivating and empowering female leaders in all fields.
“Leadership is a matter of how to be, not how to do,” says Frances Hesselbein, former GSUSA CEO, and 1998 Presidential Medal of Freedom recipient. The twenty-first century is the future for female leaders who posses courage, confidence, and character , who know that they CAN change the world. Because, when you KNOW that you HAVE THE POWER to change something, most likely, you will.
Girl Scouts has transformed my definition of what it means to take action. I hope it will for you, too. Remember, you are the future. I urge you to take action today.
