The Girl Scouts of the Southern Appalachians will present A Taste of Girl Scouts Thursday and Monday to share information about the scouting experience. “Girls and adults attending can learn about Girl Scouting first-hand,” said Sandi Blalock, Director of Volunteer Development for the local council.
Unless you’ve been a Girl Scout, you don’t know what all the program offers. And if you were a Girl Scout years ago, the program has evolved to meet girls’ needs today. There will be STEM and outdoors activities for attendees and the opportunity to assist with a community service project. Information about joining will be available.
The Thursday event will be at the Rotary Pavilion at Hardin Park from 5-7 pm. Look for the Girl Scout banner. The Monday program will be at First Baptist Church, 211 N. Main Street, also from 5-7 pm. Both events are drop-in events so you do not need to attend the entire time.
Girl Scout membership is open to all girls from kindergarten through their senior year in high school. There is a membership fee and scholarships are available. Volunteers need to be over 18 years old and pass a background check. They do not need to be related to a girl in the program.
