March 12, 2023 - Daylight Saving Time | National Girl Scout Day

Welcome to March 12th, 2023 on the National Day Calendar. Today we celebrate sunshine protection and Girl Scouts with gumption. Daylight Saving Time. Changing our clocks, losing sleep…ugh. But actually, Daylight Saving Time is a good thing. Hold on a minute… Daylight Saving Time is making our lives better. We spend more time awake in the evening than morning, this gives us the sunshine to enjoy it. And sunshine is good; vitamin D, increased exercise, more socializing…all things that make us healthier and happier. As a matter of fact, the Senate passed the Sunshine Protection Act which would make Daylight Saving Time permanent. This year for Daylight Saving Time, don’t focus on the clock changing, focus instead on the long, lazy summer days ahead of us. The life of young Juliette Gordon Low was full of adventure. She learned to ride elephants in India, climbed the Great Pyramid in Egypt and even went trout fishing with Rudyard Kipling. But when she organized the first Girl Scout meeting in 1912 with 18 girls, we bet JGL never imagined it would grow into a nearly 4 million strong organization. Today the Girl Scout program does its share to build courage, confidence and character in its young women, along with financial literacy with its cookie sales. Notable alumni include Lucille Ball, Sandra Day O’ Connor, and Sally Ride. On National Girl Scout Day, we celebrate the adventurous spirit of one young girl who has made a difference to millions.
