Description

Girl Scouting came to Washington, DC, in June 1913 when Juliette Gordon Low determined her new girls’ empowerment movement needed a national headquarters. Despite the fact that the headquarters moved to New York City in 1916, the council in Washington, DC, remains to be actively involved within the programs. Girl Scouts of the Nation’s Capital chronicles the evolution of Girl Scouting within the District of Columbia, Maryland, Virginia, and West Virginia from 1913 to the current. It includes photographs from the Little House, where first ladies dropped by for housekeeping demonstrations, and the teahouses, where presidents enjoyed fresh beverages and cakes graciously served by Girl Scouts. Some 200 photographs will rekindle memories of constructing new friends, earning badges, spending summer nights at Camp Might Flather, taking road trips to Rockwood, attending freezing inaugural parades, mountaineering along the Chesapeake & Ohio Canal, and collaborating in enormous sing-alongs across the Washington Monument.
