Celebrating 100 Years of Girl Scouting

Duluth Cadette Troop 1941 of the Girl Scouts of Greater Atlanta would like to invite everyone to "Celebrating 100 Years of Girl Scouting." The exhibit at the Duluth Historical Society Museum, located in the Strickland House on Buford Highway, will open February 3, 2012, and run through April 28, 2012. The public will be able to learn more about the history of Girl Scouting and view artifacts such as original handbooks and uniforms on loan from the Girl Scouts of Greater Atlanta Archives.
The exhibit at the Duluth City Hall will feature information regarding current troops and the service they perform within the community. An open house will be held on Sunday, February 12, 2012, from 3:00-5:00 pm at the Strickland House.

The Cadette troop also encourages the public to bring their memories and pictures to share of Girl Scouting in Gwinnett County, as they are compiling a more complete history of Girl Scouting in this area of Georgia. Artifacts from several local families are featured in the exhibit, including a 1930s era uniform.

The entrance to the Duluth Historical Society Museum is free for members, or $3 per adult and $1 per student. The Duluth Historical Society Museum is located at 2956 Buford Highway, Duluth, GA 30096, and can be reached at 770-232-7584 or www.duluthhistorical.org.
