Marking 98 years of Girl Scouting

Julie and Christine helped mark Girl Scout Week at our local town hall and our church.

March 12 is the 98th anniversary of the founding of Girl Scouts in the United States.

Julie, the Girl Scouts service unit manager for Fanwood and Scotch Plains, was joined by Christine and two Brownies at the Fanwood Borough Council meeting Tuesday night. The girls led the Pledge of Allegiance and received the mayor's proclamation of March 7-14 as Girl Scout Week.

A local news web site, the Scotch Plains-Fanwood Patch, covered the event with an article and photos, including this one of the mayor happily receiving some cookies from the Brownies.


Earlier in the week, Girl Scouts wore their uniforms to Sunday services at St. Paul's Church in Westfield, took part in the presentation of gifts and afterward posed for a photo on the church steps.
