Discover Girl Scouts

Girl Scouts of Maine will host Discover Girl Scouts for potential members and volunteers at 6 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 22, at the Gray Public Library. The event is for girls in kindergarten through third grade and their caregivers.

“When a girl becomes a Girl Scout, she grows into a young woman who is self-confident, strong and compassionate. She learns how to build and maintain healthy relationships. She becomes more aware of the world around her and uses her skills and talents to make her world a better place,” says Joanne Crepeau, CEO of Girl Scouts of Maine. 

For more information and to see a full list of Discover Girl Scout events, visit girlscoutsofmaine.org or call 888-922-4763.
