SOUTH PORTLAND — Girl Scouts of Maine is announcing it will host free “Sprouting Daisies” events for girls entering kindergarten or first grade and their families. Sprouting Daisies will bring together girls and their caregivers, allowing 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 adults play.
Attendees will be invited to participate in an activity, learn about volunteer opportunities, and learn how to earn GSME’s newest patch – Sprouting Daisies – for free.
“Girl Scouts helps girls develop their full potential, even the youngest ones,” 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.”
These Sprouting Daisies events are just some of the many activities GSME will be holding this year. Upcoming locations for Sprouting Daisies include:
* June 1 — Haskell House, South Paris, 6 p.m.
* June 8 — Skowhegan Library, Skowhegan, 4 p.m.
* June 20 — Lewiston Public Library, Lewiston, 5 p.m.
