Savannah Celebrates Scouting Forever Stamp



On July 18, the Savannah Post Office and the Juliette Gordon Low Birthplace celebrated the adventure and spirit of Girl Scouting with a special dedication of the U.S. Postal Service’s new Celebrate Scouting Forever stamp.

The stamp, issued by the Postal Service on June 9, honors the 100th anniversary of Girl Scouts in the USA.  Juliette Gordon Low’s 2012 Medal of Freedom was presented to the Juliette Gordon Low Birthplace house and attended by Gordon family members.

The Celebrate Scouting Forever stamp commemorates the proud history of the Girl Scouts, the Year of the Girl in 2012, and the Girl Scouts call to action for the future, ToGetHerThere

Celebrate Scouting is the “sister” stamp to the 2010 Scouting stamp that pays tribute to Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts for the opportunities and experiences they have provided for millions of young people worldwide.
