Were you a Girl Scout? What are your stories?
“African American girl scouts listen to instructor talk about first aid,” Joyner Digital Library, East Carolina University, http://digital.lib.ecu.edu/2710, December 1955 – February 1956.
Girl Scouts have a long history going back to to 1912. African American girls were also part of the movement dating back to the 1950’s as seen in this photo, and even earlier. Learn more at Celebrating 95 Years of Black History at Girl Scouts of the USA.
African Americans and the Environment 
I was a proud Girl Scout and loved every second of the experience. Thanks for posting this picture that shows a tradition of women of color in the organization. Love the blog too!
I wasn’t a girl scout, but I wanted to be…still do. I wrote my own Girl Scout post a few days ago. Please check it out and leave a comment.
