Today, we celebrate Josefa Llanes Escoda, a true hero whose legacy of courage, compassion, and leadership continues to inspire us all. As the founder of the Girl Scouts of the Philippines and a fierce advocate for women's rights, she dedicated her life to empowering the youth, serving the community, and fighting for women's suffrage.

On Escoda Day, we honor her unwavering spirit and patriotism, remembering her sacrifices during World War II and the impact she made on generations of Filipinos. Let us carry forward her mission by living lives of service, kindness, and resilience. 💚

• Inspired by the Girl Scout movement in the United States, Escoda returned to the Philippines with a mission to establish a similar organization for Filipino girls.

• She underwent intensive training in girl scouting in the USA, sponsored by the Boy Scouts of the Philippines, before returning to her homeland.

• Escoda trained young women to become Girl Scout leaders, laying the foundation for the organization's structure and leadership.

• On May 26, 1940, President Manuel L. Quezon signed the charter of the Girl Scouts of the Philippines, making it officially recognized.

• Escoda served as the first National Executive of the Girl Scouts of the Philippines, guiding the organization's early development and fostering its growth.

• Early Advocacy: Escoda was a strong advocate for women's rights as she actively campaigned for women's suffrage, which was finally granted in the Philippines in 1937.

• Beyond the Classroom: While Escoda is known for her work with the Girl Scouts, she also worked for the Philippine chapter of the American Red Cross and earned a master's degree in sociology from Columbia University.

• International Recognition: Escoda represented our country at international conferences and speaking engagements, promoting Filipino culture and advocating for peace.

To our amazing titas, Tita 'Merly' and Tita Imee,

Today we honor you, not just for your dedication and hard work, but for the profound impact you've made on our troop.

You encouraged us to embrace the Girl Scout spirit of courage, confidence, independence and character. You've challenged us to step outside our comfort zones, to try new things, and to believe in ourselves. You've taught us the importance of community, service, and making a difference in the world.

We thank you for your guidance and support, your endless patience, and your unwavering belief in us. And we most definitely thank you for shaping us into the young women we are today. We look forward to more fun and challenging adventures with you in the future days to come❤☘.

On the 3rd of February 2024 Saturday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00p.m., BSU-SLS Girl scouts attended the 𝗕𝗮𝘀𝗶𝗰 𝗙𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝗔𝗶𝗱 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 of 𝙎𝙚𝙧𝙫𝙞𝙘𝙚 𝘼𝙪𝙭𝙞𝙡𝙖𝙧𝙮 𝙑𝙤𝙡𝙪𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙚𝙧𝙨 for 𝙀𝙢𝙚𝙧𝙜𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙮 𝙍𝙚𝙡𝙞𝙚𝙛 (𝙎𝘼𝙑𝙀𝙍) in collaboration with 𝙋𝙝𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙥𝙥𝙞𝙣𝙚 𝙍𝙚𝙙 𝘾𝙧𝙤𝙨𝙨 (𝙋𝙍𝘾) at the Baley ni Girl Scout, La Trinidad, Benguet.

The girls we lectured about 𝕕𝕚𝕤𝕒𝕤𝕥𝕖𝕣𝕤, 𝕖𝕞𝕖𝕣𝕘𝕖𝕟𝕔𝕚𝕖𝕤, 𝕡𝕣𝕠𝕥𝕠𝕔𝕠𝕝𝕤, etc. They were taught 𝕓𝕒𝕤𝕚𝕔 𝕝𝕚𝕗𝕖 𝕤𝕦𝕡𝕡𝕠𝕣𝕥, 𝕓𝕒𝕟𝕕𝕒𝕘𝕚𝕟𝕘, 𝕡𝕒𝕥𝕚𝕖𝕟𝕥 𝕡𝕒𝕔𝕜𝕚𝕟𝕘, and further 𝕚𝕞𝕡𝕣𝕠𝕧𝕚𝕟𝕘 their 𝕝𝕖𝕒𝕕𝕖𝕣𝕤𝕙𝕚𝕡 𝕤𝕜𝕚𝕝𝕝𝕤, 𝕔𝕠𝕞𝕞𝕦𝕟𝕚𝕔𝕒𝕥𝕚𝕠𝕟 𝕤𝕜𝕚𝕝𝕝𝕤, and 𝕔𝕒𝕞𝕒𝕣𝕒𝕕𝕖𝕣𝕚𝕖. Furthermore they also received their Red Cross Membership ID.

The Girl Scouts embraced the spirit of 𝐶𝑎𝑚𝑎𝑟𝑎𝑑𝑒𝑟𝑖𝑒 and 𝑙𝑒𝑎𝑟𝑛𝑖𝑛𝑔 during their school backyard camping . From the solemnity of 𝕚𝕟𝕧𝕖𝕤𝕥𝕚𝕥𝕦𝕣𝕖 to the laughter-filled 𝕕𝕚𝕟𝕟𝕖𝕣, creative 𝕗𝕝𝕒𝕘 𝕞𝕒𝕜𝕚𝕟𝕘, and the warmth of the 𝕔𝕒𝕞𝕡𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖 night, every sequence became a chapter in their shared story. Morning brought 𝕜𝕟𝕠𝕥 𝕥𝕪𝕚𝕟𝕘, 𝕓𝕒𝕟𝕕𝕒𝕘𝕚𝕟𝕘 𝕤𝕜𝕚𝕝𝕝𝕤, and the thrill of 𝕗𝕝𝕠𝕦𝕣 𝕣𝕖𝕝𝕒𝕪. ℂ𝕝𝕖𝕒𝕟𝕚𝕟𝕘 flowerboxes, conquering an 𝕠𝕓𝕤𝕥𝕒𝕔𝕝𝕖 𝕔𝕠𝕦𝕣𝕤𝕖, and an adventurous 𝕤𝕔𝕒𝕧𝕖𝕟𝕘𝕖𝕣 𝕙𝕦𝕟𝕥 added excitement. The camping adventure concluded with a delightful 𝕓𝕠𝕠𝕕𝕝𝕖 𝕗𝕚𝕘𝕙𝕥, leaving the scouts with memories of 𝑓𝑟𝑖𝑒𝑛𝑑𝑠ℎ𝑖𝑝, 𝑠𝑘𝑖𝑙𝑙𝑠, and the 𝑚𝑎𝑔𝑖𝑐 of the great outdoors.
