Cadette and Senior Girl Scouts!
“Daisies in Bloom: A Celebration of Life”
a special program for mothers and Teen daughters
about Breast Cancer Awareness
When Juliette (“Daisy”) Low, founder of Girl
Scouts, died in 1927 from breast cancer, the words “breast”
and “cancer” were not used in polite company.
Not until 1996 was it made known to Girl Scouts around the
world that Juliette had died of breast cancer. Much has changed
since then thanks to significant medical advances such as
those pioneered at MD Anderson Cancer Center where this special
event will take place. Join Cadette and Senior age girls at
GSSJC’s sixth Mother/Daughter Breast Cancer Awareness
Event, “Daisies In Bloom: A Celebration of Life.”
