Girl Scouts of Maine to host Discover Girl Scouts events

Mon, 10/30/2017 - 8:15am

Girl Scouts of Maine (GSME) announces that it will host Discover Girl Scout events for potential members and volunteers at locations throughout the state every month. Below is a list of events in your area.

These events will 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.

"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. Here is a list of events in your area:

Monday, Nov. 6: Edgecomb Eddy School, Edgecomb, 5:30 p.m.

Wednesday, Nov. 8: Boothbay Region YMCA, Boothbay Harbor, 6 p.m.

Thursday, Nov. 9: Great Sat Bay Community School, Damariscotta, 6 p.m.

Girl Scouts of Maine builds girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place. GSME provides services and support to nearly 13,000 girl and adult members statewide, and operates service centers and shops in South Portland and Bangor.
