Girl Scouts who attend Auburn City Schools have created a petition asking the school board to update the current dress code, saying students should feel comfortable and shouldn’t be worried about “getting publicly shamed.” alnews auburn girlscouts d...
Marcie Gaylor, the volunteer experience coordinator for Girl Scouts of Southern Alabama, said about four girls from Troop 7018 and Troop 7012 got together in May to discuss the dress code and came up with the idea to modify it. The girls came up with the wording by themselves with the guidance of a few adults, Gaylor said.
In the petition, the girls state that the dress code “prevents girls’ success” as it makes girls self-conscious, stressed and anxious. Gaylor said one of the rules the girls would like to change involves the required length for shorts, skirts and dresses. The system currently requires all hemlines to be no shorter than 4 inches above the knee. The Girl Scouts proposed to change it to a standardized inseam length, so it’s easier to shop for.“Way to Go Girls!!! I 100% support this,” one parent wrote. “My 5’8” tall daughter always had to wear jeans in 100 degree heat.
