AREA GIRL SCOUTS work on community service projects while also taking time to enjoy a centennial birthday celebration March 20 at the Harriet Beecher Stowe Elementary School in Brunswick.
BRUNSWICK — Girl Scouts from Brunswick and surrounding towns danced the night away to the new song, “Ignite,” written just for the Girl Scouts’ 100th birthday.

The birthday celebration, held March 20 at Harriet Beecher Stowe Elementary School in Brunswick, was sponsored by Cadette Troop 2202.

Amanda Pickens exclaimed, “I loved the dancing, it was the best of all the fun things we did!”

Another noted that the limbo was her favorite part.

Along with dancing, the girls decorated a birthday cupcake, sang songs, and watched some movies from the Girl Scouts’ early years.

Scouts are taught that it is important to give back to their community, so each troop contributed items to create 100 birthday boxes, consisting of a cake mix, icing, candles, small toy and several other items for a “Happy Birthday.”

These boxes, along with the cards made by the Scouts, were given to Mid Coast Hunger Prevention Program.
