The 2010 Girls Scout 98th Birthday and Pat Nixon Birthday celebration was held at the Richard Nixon Library today in Yorba Linda! The theme of this years event was: Girl Scouts Go Green: Celebrating 98 years of Girl scouting and the Hope of a Greener Future.

In honor of Pat Nixon’s Birthday, wreaths were laid on her  grave site  and that of President Richard Nixon by the Yorba Linda Girl Scout Color Guard. The ceremony was a dignified tribute to the First Lady.

“Going Green” booths were scattered throughout the library grounds and the girls were given hands-on opportunities to learn about conservation, organic farming, recycling, alternative green cleaning products that are better for our environment, etc while earning badges. A fun day for all!
