Nashua Girl Scouts to celebrate anniversary with vintage uniforms in Veterans Day parade

NASHUA – Local Girl Scouts will celebrate this 100th anniversary year of the organization’s founding on Veterans Day, when 25 Scouts will march in Nashua’s parade wearing vintage uniforms representing each of the 10 decades. The parade, which will kick off at about 11:20 a.m. Sunday at Holman Stadium after military ceremonies, will go east on Amherst Street and south on Main Street to Lake Street. It will disband at Elm Street Middle School. Girl Scouts of America founder Juliette Gordon Low organized the first troop on March 12, 1912, in Savannah, Ga. Jane Murray, a lifetime Girl Scout and Nashua Scout leader, said there are 2.3 million Girl Scouts and about 890,000 adults, primarily volunteers, in the nation. Murray said the uniforms the local Scouts will wear are official GSA uniforms.
