PURPOSE / MISSION:
The “Bee a Buckler” Safety Program is a nonprofit educational program, tax-exempt under IRS Code 501(c)(3), to educate the public about the importance of using safety belts, the correct use of child safety seats and booster seats, and other safe driving practices.
Started in 1969 by Jennie Glasgow to educate the girls in her Girl Scout Troop in Atlanta (Sandy Springs), Georgia, the program quickly mushroomed throughout the state and across the nation, and Clubs have been formed in five other countries: Germany, Switzerland, Italy, France and England.
Recipient of numerous awards and citations, the program was cited as the “pioneer in safety belt education” by the National Safety Council; the “first safety belt education program in the nation” by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration; and awarded the prestigious “World Traffic Safety” Award in 2002. Now in its 40th year, the program continues to provide assistance and guidance for establishing occupant protection programs, by using all volunteers.
