Spring registration under way at Girl Scout of Maine

    Girl Scouts of Maine is currently accepting registration for girls in grades K – 12 who want to join Girl Scouts.
 “Spring is a great time to register girls in Girl Scouts because it gives them a head-start in the fall when program activities kick off – especially younger girls who will enter kindergarten in September.”  said Joanne Hulsey, Girl Scouts of Maine membership director.  “     Girl Scouts of Maine offers age-appropriate programs that provide girls with the specific knowledge, attitudes and values that will make them leaders in their own lives now and in the future.  Girls gain leadership skills as they participate in activities that are of specific interest to them such as camp, community service, travel, technology workshops, riding lessons, college-preparation seminars and a long list of other options. 
“We recognize that families are facing tough economic challenges these days and are very careful how they spend their money.” stated Hulsey. “The Girl Scout membership fee is $12 and financial assistance is available. Parents tell me all the time how much they appreciate that Girl Scouts provides their daughters with one of the most affordable, varied, and enriching opportunities in the state.”   
    Girl Scouts of Maine serves over 16,000 girl and adult members statewide.  To become a member, find out about volunteer opportunities or learn more about the Girl Scout Leadership Experience, call 1-888-922-4763, email info@gsmaine.org, or visit www.girlscoutsofmaine.org.
