Hoover Dam Honors Girl Scouts 100th Anniversary with Largest Girl Power Billboard

In celebration of the 100th Anniversary of Girl Scouts of the USA, March 12, 2012, the Bureau of Reclamation displayed the Girl Scout logo against a sea of green light on the Hoover Dam. 

Girl Scouts from surrounding states gathered on the Mike O’Callaghan – Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge to celebrate. At 7:12 p.m. (1912 military time), Girl Scouts sang happy birthday and then began the countdown to light the dam. The Hoover Dam will remain green through March 17, 2012.
