Penny Poem
There those that believe a penny doesn't hold much value. Many don't
think a penny is worth picking up. Yet, others believe that finding a
penny brings good luck.
As Girl Scouts we not only know the value of a penny, but know that we
are to use our resources wisely. We make those pennies stretch into
endless activities for our girls. To us, a penny is a symbol. Tonight we
want to give you a special penny. Each time you see it, remember these
words:
A Penny And The Girl Scout Story:
"Lincoln symbolizes the ideal we have towards our country as Girl
Scouts.
The inscription, 'In God We Trust' reminds us of a Supreme Being.
The Lincoln Memorial symbolizes what we are working towards as Girl
Scouts... building strong citizens, thus forming a strong structure.
The three steps represent the three parts of the Girl Scout promise.
The ten columns remind us of the Girl Scout Law. The Promise and the
Law support Girl Scouting.
The open door symbolizes our open hearts to all.
The Latin 'E. Plurbis Unim' reminds us that while there are many of us
here, we are all united in Girl Scouting.
This penny symbolizes the many rewards we receive during our lifetime.
Rewards not in money or gifts, but in a smile of a friend, a handshake
of a new friend and the knowledge and pride gained in doing the
best you can in reaching your life's goal. Keep this penny...every once
in a while look at it and remember what it means.".
