Special to the Star-Herald
Girl Scouting in our area is currently accepting registration for girls in grades K–12. The annual membership fee is $10 and financial assistance is available.
Involvement in Scouting is a valuable asset today. It provides girls with enriching experiences and a wide array of opportunities. Girls today face some tough challenges. Scouting teaches them ways to meet these challenges and eventually improves the girl, her neighborhood, her community and the world.
The new Girl Scouts still earn badges in many traditional areas as well as new fields of interest for today’s girl. Members are encouraged to learn by doing. The program builds self-esteem and teaches healthy living choices.
Parents and grandparents are encouraged to join in the fun as well, making the learning and fun times even more enjoyable.
The levels of Scouting include: Daisy, Brownies, Juniors, Cadettes and Seniors; and there are troops in many local areas. To become a member or find out more information, contact local leaders by phoning Membership Manager Wendy Burtchell at 551-1193 and leave a message. You can also contact local leaders including Marie Thibeault at 896-3109, Tammy Nadeau at 496-2431 or Christie Cochran at 455-8034.
