The Santa Monica History Museum, the Santa Monica Public Library, and the Girl Scouts of
Greater Los Angeles will host a free Discover the History lecture on Wednesday, March 22, 2017 at 6:30 PM in the Santa
Monica Public Library’s Martin Luther King, Jr. Auditorium. This lecture will focus on the history of Girl Scouts and will also
be a celebration of Women’s History Month. Dr. Lisette Gold, a Santa Monica Girl Scouts Service Unit Manager and
Ambassador Troop #8355 Leader, will be the speaker for this free community event.
Girl Scouts are a ubiquitous part of American life, but where did they get their start and how did they grow to one of the
nation’s premier women’s organizations with nearly three million active and over fifty-nine million alumnae members? Dr.
Lisette Gold will share the history of Girl Scouts, who celebrate 105 years of empowering women this March, a fitting way
to celebrate Women’s History Month 2017! The talk will also include information about local scouting and its impact on
the community.
The lecture is offered free to the public, but seating is limited and RSVPs are encouraged. To RSVP or for more information
