Girl Scout Birthday (March 12) commemorates the day in 1912 when Juliette Gordon Low officially registered the organization’s first 18 members in Savannah, Ga.

Girl Scout Week is celebrated each March, starting with Girl Scout Sunday and ending with Girl Scouts Sabbath on Saturday, and it always includes the Girl Scout Birthday.

Girl Scout Sunday and Girl Scout Sabbath give girls an opportunity to attend their place of worship and be recognized as a Girl Scout. If a place of worship is the group sponsor, girls may perform a service, such as a greeting, ushering, or doing a flag ceremony.

These days can also be a time when girls explore other faiths.

Girl Scout Junior Troop 619 and Brownie Troop 108 hold their meetings at the Grace United Methodist Church in Keyser on the second and fourth Wednesday of each month from 5-7 p.m.

On Girl Scout Sunday, several members from these troops, along with troop leaders Barbara Amtower, Sheila Powell, and Vanessa Thompson, attended the 11 a.m. Service of Worship at Grace United Methodist Church.

During the service, Rev. James McCune recognized the Girl Scouts and welcomed them.

The girls recited the Girl Scout Promise and Law and presented Girl Scout Cookies as a donation to the church’s food pantry collection.
