00:07.040 --> 00:10.950
young and old alike

00:10.960 --> 00:13.182
came out to celebrate 100 years of Girl

00:13.182 --> 00:15.404
scouting by holding a birthday party at

00:15.404 --> 00:17.516
ari of Lincoln heats defenders , park

00:17.516 --> 00:19.516
girls counselor started by Juliette

00:19.516 --> 00:22.190
Gordon low on March 12th , 1912 , she

00:22.190 --> 00:24.190
wanted to provide something for the

00:24.190 --> 00:26.301
girls in America that would give them

00:26.301 --> 00:28.246
opportunities to branch out And do

00:28.246 --> 00:30.134
things like camping first day and

00:30.134 --> 00:32.301
things that were typically things that

00:32.301 --> 00:34.523
men did . Local Brownie Troop number 43

00:34.523 --> 00:36.634
was responsible for putting the party

00:36.634 --> 00:38.634
together . The event consisted of a

00:38.634 --> 00:40.801
flag ceremony singing and a friendship

00:40.801 --> 00:42.968
circle . The purpose of the friendship

00:42.968 --> 00:45.023
cycle is to bring friends together .

00:45.023 --> 00:47.134
It's where we put our right hand over

00:47.134 --> 00:49.190
left and then we grab on and when we

00:49.190 --> 00:51.412
feel that squeeze we put our right foot

00:51.412 --> 00:53.468
out and then when I heard the person

00:53.468 --> 00:55.690
that started it feels it , then we turn

00:55.690 --> 00:57.912
out some of the brownies , tell us what

00:57.912 --> 01:00.246
they like most about being a girl scout ,

01:00.246 --> 01:02.190
I like being a part of Girl scouts

01:02.190 --> 01:04.412
because it's fun and you get to do lots

01:04.412 --> 01:06.468
of trips . I like being part of Girl

01:06.468 --> 01:08.579
scouts because it helps people around

01:08.579 --> 01:10.690
the world . I like being a girl scout

01:10.690 --> 01:12.746
because you can sell cookies and use

01:12.746 --> 01:15.310
your money to go on big trips . Being a

01:15.310 --> 01:17.477
child of a military family can be hard

01:17.477 --> 01:19.699
at times , but one parent feels being a

01:19.699 --> 01:21.699
part of Girl scouts has helped make

01:21.699 --> 01:23.921
their child's transition to a new based

01:23.921 --> 01:26.143
easier . I think that when we move from

01:26.143 --> 01:28.366
place to place , there needs to be some

01:28.366 --> 01:30.600
cohesion and so girl scouting gives

01:30.600 --> 01:32.822
them something to look forward to , and

01:32.822 --> 01:34.767
no party could be complete without

01:34.767 --> 01:36.767
cupcakes for our F Lakenheath , I'm

01:36.767 --> 01:38.350
Airman , first class ERin Mills .
