Adult Investiture/Rededication

 

Part 1: "Girl Scouting is not a world apart, but a part of the world." As we dedicate ourselves today, let's keep in mind ways in which we can make Girl Scouting an even stronger part of our world. Here are some thoughts:
 

Part 2: Juliette Low frequently reminded the National Board, when much organizational planning had to be done, "We mustn't lose sight of the girls. The girls must always come first."
 

Part 3: Thomas Edison said, "Genius is 99% perspiration and 1% inspiration."
 

Part 4: "Thank you for loaning me your daughter, For letting her make me smile; Thank you for letting her be a Girl Scout, It's an organization worthwhile" - Author Unknown
 

Part 5: "We cannot learn from one another - until we stop shouting at one another; until we speak quietly enough so that our words can be heard as well as our voices." - Richard Nixon
 

Part 6: Girls are the only reason for Girl Scouting. Everything in Girl Scouting is designed for their particular needs and interests
 

Part 7: "You don't have to think about doing the right thing. If you are for the right thing then you will do it without even thinking." Maya Angelo (I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings)
 

Part 8: Girl Scouting is multi-cultural. We not only welcome, but seek, members from all racial, ethnic, religious, and socio-economic groups.
 

Part 9: Look up and not down - Look forward and not back - Look out and not in - Lend a hand
 

Part 10: According to Peter Drucker, often called the founding father of the discipline of management, "The best run organization in the United States is the Girl Scouts. Tough, hardworking women can do anything."
 

Part 11: When in charge - ponder, When in trouble - delegate, When in doubt - mumble
 

Part 12: "Ideas are clean. They soar in the supreme heavens. I can take them out and look at them, they fit in books, they lead me down that narrow way. And in the morning they are there. Ideas are straight - but the world is round, and a messy mortal is my friend - come walk with me in the mud..." - Hugh Prather
 

Part 13: Girl Scouting is people, people like you who give their time, their energy, and their love to help prepare today's girl for tommorow's world.
 

Part 14: Let's all join in saying the Girl Scout Promise (All say the Promise together)
