Anniversary Activities
Great Girl Scout Hike
Be part of the Great Girl Scout Hike! Girl Scouts of all ages are hiking a
section of the Appalachian Trail to hike in honor of our 100th
anniversary. Our Candlewood Trekkers will be doing one section, but you or your troop can also hike on your own. Visit the Great Girl Scout Hike website for more information, or contact Anne Gair-MacMichael at agair-macmichael@gsofct.org.
100,000 Hours of Service
In this centennial year, we challenged each member to continue service to their community, recording their number of service hours between March 12, 2011 and March 12, 2012. Together Girl Scouts of Connecticut provided more than 100,000 hours of service! More
100th Anniversary Patch and Living the Law Pin Program
These patch programs celebrate 100 years of Girl Scouts and the people that made and make Girl Scouts happen in our state. Celebrate our history and take on monthly challenges based on the Girl Scout Law. More
Girls' Voices Time Capsule
In celebration of our anniversary, we’ve created a time capsule that will be shown at the Jubilee and International Camporee, then put away until our 150th year. Girls of all ages chose items they feel represent Girl Scouts in 2012. Questions? Email Nancy Bajek at nbajek@gsoft.org.
Art Exhibits: "What it means to be a Girl Scout" – March to May 2012
Service Units planned art exhibits around the theme, “What it Means to be a Girl Scout.” They then selected one to two pieces which were exhibited at the 100th Jubilee.
Girls creatively illustrated what Girl Scouting means to them in any media, including watercolor, oils, pastels, chalk, pen and ink, photography, pottery or ceramics, woodworking, decoupage, sculpture, recycled art, paper crafts, collage, poster art, scrapbooking, weaving, fabric art, sewing and jewelry. Congratulations to all artists whose pieces were shown at the Jubilee!

Flat Juliette
Every Girl Scout should know who started the Girl Scouts and how amazing she was! The Flat Juliette Patch Program is a fun way to get to know our founder. Learn more and see where she’s been!
Traveling Juliettes
We are hoping each Service Unit will have one or two Girl Scout Cadettes, Seniors or Ambassadors specially trained to become Traveling Juliettes. Traveling Juliettes share the story and life of Juliette Gordon Low with area Daisy, Brownies and Junior troops and other groups and at Service Unit events. Interested girls may call the GSOFCT Program Department at (203) 239-2922 or (800) 922-2770 or email Cathy Monckton at cmonckton@gsofct.org.
