Girl Guides and Girl Scouts

The Girl Guide movement, founded in 1910, spread to a number of countries, with some National Organizations calling themselves “Girl Guides” and some others “Girl Scouts”. Girl Guiding/Girl Scouting is open to all girls and young women whatever their religion, ethnic group or background. A Girl Guide or Girl Scout accepts the Promise and the Law based on spiritual values, personal development and commitment to helping others.

How can a 14 year old girl who weighs 163 pounds lose 20 pounds in 1 month?

DIETING ANDWEIGHT LOSS

TWENTY POUNDS IS a lot of weight to lose in four weeks. If you are intent on doing it, please follow some basic guidelines. (1) Don't NOT eat, starve yourself or skip meals. Starving actually slows down weight loss. Think of it this way: when your body stops getting food, it thinks it's stranded on an island, and immediately slows down the fat burning process to conserve energy and body fat. (2) Consume less calories (3) Increase your exercise. (4) Make sure the calories you consume are "quality" calories: protein, complex carbohydrates {not simple sugars}, fruit, vegetables etc... (5) VERY IMPORTANT- Eat frequently!! REALLY! Eat small healthful portions 5-6 times a day. This keeps your metabolism in high gear, and your "fat burning furnace" on high. (6) NO JUNK FOOD or FAST FOOD. If you stick to these suggestions, you will lose the weight you want to lose. Good Luck!! <<>>

go on the scarsdale medical diet! you lose a pound or more a day and it's EASY! look it up on google and it'll tell you what to eat. (only if you want to of course.) also, if you add exercise it'll go even faster. goodluck! by the way, im 14 too. :)

Was Juliette Gordon Low - the founder of Girl Scouts of the USA - poor during childhood?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Juliette Gordon Low enjoyed standing on her head. She stood on her head every year for her birthday!

She enjoyed the arts and would write and act in plays. She also played tennis and was a swimmer.

Juliette had two nick names. One was "Little Ship" because she was so much like her great-grandmother who had been nick named "Little Ship Under Full Sail" by the Seneca Indians who had captured her and later let her return home.

Juliette's other nick name was "Daisy". When she was born, her uncle exclaimed "That's a Daisy!"

There is a story about pulling taffy. One of Daisy's cousins thought the taffy was the same color as her hair so they braided the taffy into Daisy's hair. Since taffy is so sticky, the only way to remove the taffy was to cut her hair very short, which was not very fashionable for females in those days!

There are more stories about Juliette Gordon Low's experiences at the GSUSA web site. See Related Links for the link to Juliette's Biography and then click on the Interactive Video photo at the top of the web page.

Did Juliette Gordon Low study?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Since Juliette Gordon Low came from a family that was well-to-do, she never had what would be considered an occupation. She never had to work at a job to earn a living.

However, Juliette was very interested in the arts and created many sculptures and works of wrought iron, including a gate that is located at the Girl Scout National Center (or The Birthplace).

Because of Juliette's well-to-do upbringing, she felt unprepared for dealing with events in her life, so she found a way, through Girl Scouting, to help young women better prepare for their futures. So, her occupation later in life was concentrated on bringing Girl Guiding and Girl Scouting to girls around the world.

Juliette first started troops in Scotland and London, then came to the USA and registered the first troop for membership in Savannah, GA in 1912.

Do they sell girl scout cookies in South Africa?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Each World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS) member country/organization sets their own guidelines for money earning projects for their members, so it is very likely that Swedish Girl Guides do not sell cookies. No information about cookie sales is available on the Swedish Girl Guides web site (Scouterna).

However, members of USA Girl Scouts Overseas sell cookies as members of the Girl Scouts of the USA (GSUSA) and may be selling cookies in Sweden.
