When Did Girl Scouts Start In Northwood?


Girl Scouts will be celebrating their 100th birthday this March! What does that mean for Northwood Girl Scouts? An exciting year ahead of  learning and remembering scouts from the past and gearing up for our own fun new journey in scouting.


Girl Scouts was started on March 12, 1912 by Juliette “Daisy” Low in Savannah, Georgia. She assembled 18 girls and gave them the opportunity to develop physically, mentally, and spiritually. Within a few years, her dream for a girl-centered organization was realized. Today, Girl Scouts of the USA has a membership of over 3.2 million girls and adults. In fact, more than 50 million women in the U.S. today are Girl Scout alumnae.


What do we need from Northwood residents? We need your help in finding out when Girl Scouts started in Northwood. Both the Historical Society and our council, Girl Scouts of the Green and White Mountains, have no record of Northwood troops ever forming. We want to change that. We want to know who our town’s alumnae are, and their story. With scouting stories and photographs from both the past and present we will create a Girl Scout scrapbook to commemorate our 100th birthday and donate it to our town’s historical society.  Thus making our mark today for the future Northwood scouts of tomorrow.


Please share your story with us and be a part of this momentous celebration. We will be gathering your scouting memories through September and sharing them at our Rededication and Investiture Ceremony in October, where the 100+ Northwood Girl Scouts will recite the GS promise and law and take the time to remember the past 100 years and look forward to 100 more!

Warren used his various interests to promote better understanding of the needs and abilities of the handicapped community by inviting the able-bodied to use a wheelchair to compete with him in these sports. He researched many New Hampshire landmarks and was particularly interested in Gilford’s Kimball Castle.
