Girl Scouts of Colorado celebrate 100 years
The Girl Scouts of America celebrated 100 years of helping girls develop leadership skills on Saturday.
The celebration had something for everyone, allowing parents to be a girl scout for a day and letting current scouts earn up to 12 badges.
The events included training in first aid, as well as rock climbing and outdoor games.
But for the women involved, being a girl scout meant more than badges.
“Girl scouts saved my life. I was high risk. Girl scouts gave me the opportunity to discover where I wanted to go and what I wanted to be,” said Elba Barr, recruitment specialist for Girl Scouts of Colorado.
If you didn’t get a chance to try your hand at being a girl scout for a day, the event will also be taking place on Sunday.
