The Girl Scout Piper Project was launched with great fanfare on October 25,
1966 at the National Council Meeting (now called National Conventions) in
Detroit, Michigan. The 3-year Piper Project was devoted to retaining
membership in Girl Scouting and increasing membership among girls who had
never experienced Girl Scouting.
Bringing forth it's most notable celebrity troop leader - Mrs. Harry Karl,
aka Debbie Reynolds - was introduced as the Honorary National Piper. The Piper
Project team consisted of Miss Dephane Tabor (national staff), Mrs.J. Lucian
Smith (volunteer) and Ms. Reynolds.
All troop leaders were considered part of the Piper Project. The project was
heavily promoted in the Leader magazine during the following months.
