Local Girl Scouts Help Decorate the White House!

Head over to The Washington Post to see a gallery of this year's Holiday Decorations at The White House. Keep an eye out for blue ribbons that say rejoice, renew or respect - in multiple languages no less, in pictures: 5, 13 & 14. These ribbons were made and decorated by girls from our very own Heart of the South!

The White House contacted GSUSA to request
girls to design 600 ribbons to be used in their holiday decorations. Girls would receive a blue ribbon that was to be decorated with either the words Rejoice, Renew or Reflect in a variety of languages. GSUSA selected GSHS as one of three council to participate in this project!

GSHS troops serving nearly 600 girls responded that they wanted to be part of this project! Our goal was to get as many girls across our council involved, so we divided up the ribbons and most girls will work in teams to decorate them.
