Julie and 250,000 other Girl Scouts fill DC Mall

Julie traveled to Washington on Saturday to take part in the Girl Scouts of America's 100th Anniversary Sing-Along on the National Mall.
Thousands of Scouts, leaders, family members and friends gathered to sing camp songs, listen to musical entertainers and celebrate their pride in Girl Scouting. Organizers estimated the crowd at 250,000.

Julie made the trip on a bus with Scouts and leaders from Scotch Plains and Fanwood, where she continues to volunteer although her own troop has graduated. The day was very sunny and hot, and after a while she and her leader-friends found a spot to rest in the shade.

Others cooled off in the spray from fire trucks that were brought in to provide "cooling stations."
