Happy Girl Scouts Week!!!
Happy Girl Scout Week!
2018 is a milestone year, as we commemorate the 120th birth anniversary of our dear Founder,
Josefa Llanes Escoda.
As Girl Scouts, we should maximize our capabilities and use them to create a positive change in our society by helping others.
September 20 has been declared a public holiday in Dingras, Ilocos Norte, her birthplace. This year’s celebration will be more special because aside from the annual program and activities in the City of Dingras, there will be an inauguration of the marker of the Josefa Llanes Escoda National Highway in San Nicolas-Solsona, which is a portion of the Ilocos Norte-Apayao Road. Girls from Ilocos Norte-Laoag Council will form a Long Green Line along the JLE National Highway.
