A little more magic left the world today!
Today, Girl Scouts everywhere are saying goodbye to one of our own, Dolly Parton. She understood something we know so well in Girl Scouting: that when a girl is encouraged to dream, given the confidence to try, and surrounded by people who believe in her, she can change the world. Dolly spent her life doing exactly that. She lifted others up, opened doors, gave back, and reminded us that you can be wonderfully yourself while making a difference in the lives of others.
In 2007, she became a Girl Scout Lifetime Member, receiving her very own sash and badges. The Coat of Many Colors Patch was also developed here at Girl Scouts of Southern Appalachians and thousands of girls across the globe have participated and earned it.
Once a Girl Scout, always a Girl Scout! 💚
