A NEW DECADE STARTS IN 2020

New Year , New Decade … or is it ?
Believe it or not , there is a long standing debate about when an old decade ends and a new one begins . So we at Citrus Council had to make a decision . Do we want to recognize 2020 as the end of the decade and prepare to go out with a bang with G . I . R . L . 2020 ? Or should we kick off the new decade with the convention and the opening of the Yurt Village at Mah-Kah-Wee ?
Ever diplomatic , we polled members and have come to a consensus that Girl Scouts of Citrus will be saying goodbye to 2010s , as a new decade of Girl Scouting is ushered in . Hello 2020 !
