GSCSNJ float will commemorate Girl Scouts 'Building a Better World'
CHERRY HILL -- Girl Scouts of Central & Southern New Jersey (GSCSNJ) announces that the first Girl Scout-themed float --and the first by Girl Scouts of the USA -- will be joining the 90th Anniversary Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade on Nov. 24.
On the float, giant 3-D puzzle pieces of a globe, representing "building a better world." This theme, prevalent throughout the float, reflects what Girl Scouts, past and present, have done and continue to do as they take action to address issues in their local communities and around the globe. In addition, the contemporary float design nods to the organization's century of traditions, but highlights what today's Girl Scouts embrace -- discovering new things, participating in outdoor adventures, exploring science, technology, engineering, and math, creating positive change in the world, and taking the lead.
On Thanksgiving Day, an audience of over 50 million will see a float that unmistakably conveys "Girl Scouts," including two dozen Girl Scout badges representing everything from STEM and the outdoors to financial literacy and entrepreneurship, as well as a Gold Award symbol that celebrates this year's centennial of Girl Scouts' highest award. The Girl Scout-themed float, highlighting girls as an important resource capable of making great change to benefit our nation and beyond, showcases the organization's focus on empowering girls to take the lead and explore fun, new things.
The 90th Anniversary Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade airs nationwide on NBC-TV, Nov. 24 from 9 a.m. to noon, in all time zones. For more information on Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, visit macys.com/parade.
