SOUTH PORTLAND — Girl Scouts of Maine will hold Discover Girl Scout and Sprouting Daisies events for potential members and volunteers at locations throughout central Maine in the coming weeks.
The events bring together girls from kindergarten through third grade and their caregivers, and allow them to discover why Girl Scouting is important to the development of girls, how it relates to the success of young women today, and the important role that adults play. Sprouting Daisies events are specifically for girls entering first grade.
“Girl Scouts helps girls develop their full potential,” says Joanne Crepeau, CEO of Girl Scouts of Maine. “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.”
Upcoming Discover Girl Scouts events include:
Jan. 22 — 2:30 p.m. Woodstock Elementary School, 224 Rumford Ave., Bryant Pond; 5:30 p.m. Laura E. Richards School, 279 Brunswick Ave., Gardiner.
Jan. 23 — 5:30 p.m., Readfield Elementary School, 84 South Road, Readfield
