Girl Scouts seek new members, volunteers

6 years ago

AROOSTOOK COUNTY — Girl Scouts of Maine (GSME) will host Discover Girl Scouts events for potential members and volunteers at three Aroostook County locations in November.

The events will bring together girls from kindergarten through third grade and their caregivers, and allow them to discover why Girl Scouting is important to the development of girls, how it relates to the success of young women today, and the important role that adults play.

Local events will take place as follows:

Houlton: Saturday, Nov. 18, at 11 a.m. at the Cary Library.

Ashland: Tuesday, Nov. 28, at 5:30 p.m. at the Ashland Recreation Department.

Presque Isle: Wednesday, Nov. 29, at 5:30 p.m. at HardScrabble Solutions on Main Street.

“Girl Scouts helps girls develop their full potential,” said Joanne Crepeau, CEO of Girl Scouts of Maine. “When a girl becomes a Girl Scout, she grows into a young woman who is self-confident, strong and compassionate. She learns how to build and maintain healthy relationships. She becomes more aware of the world around her and uses her skills and talents to make her world a better place.”
