SOUTH PORTLAND — Girl Scouts of Maine has added several Discover Girl Scout events for potential members and volunteers in central Maine in addition to those already planned.
The events bring together girls from kindergarten through third grade 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.
“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.”
These Discover Girl Scout events are just some of the many events that GSME will be holding this year.
* Oct. 13 — Belgrade Community Center for All Seasons, Belgrade, 6 p.m.
