Girl Scout Leader Tammy Blanchard and her South Lake Tahoe Brownie Troop No. 123 intend to “make the world a better place” by remembering and celebrating the founder of the Girl Scouts of the USA, Juliette Gordon “Daisy” Low’s, on her birth date – Oct. 31.

The troop will be honoring the first-to-be-born-on-that-day baby girl at the Barton Memorial Hospital by furnishing a basket of baby products and handmade birthday cards.
