1 A YEAR IN THE LIFE OF JULIETTE Girl Scouts Go Pink October 1, 2018-November 1, 2018

2 October 2018 Girl Scouts Go Pink Juliette Gordon Low, the founder of Girl Scouts, died in 1927 at the age of 66 from Breast Cancer. At the time of her death, the words breast and cancer were not spoken in polite company. It wasn t until 1996 that it was disclosed to Girl Scouts around the world that she passed away from Breast Cancer. As we move into the future, girls can be more involved in raising awareness about breast cancer. By raising awareness, girls can make a difference in the lives of women and their families to cope with impact of breast cancer. Many Girl Scout girls and adults have had the experience of having a mother or another family member suffer with breast cancer. And, like so many other serious illnesses, breast cancer affects not just the patient, but the patient s family as well. This month s patch is designed to promote breast health and cancer prevention. Girls will learn about the importance of breast health by doing research and other activities. All age levels are invited to participate in this program. Activities and the number of requirements are for listed for each age level. Girls can do this by themselves or with their troop. Your Girl Scout can earn her patch at the Juliette Gordon Low Open House in Fresno and Bakersfield at our GSCCS Council Offices. Join us on October 25, 2018, from 5:00pm to 7:00pm. Patches will be for sale in our Goldmine Stores for $2.00 plus tax. All activities and paperwork (one evaluation per girl) must be completed and turned into Candice Blair by: Thursday, November 1, 2018 by 5:00 p.m. October arcs will only be given for the evaluations received by the date listed above. -Scan and to: cblair@girlscoutsccs.org -Mail to: GSCCS c/o Candice Blair 1377 W.
