Raquette Valley Girl Scouts celebrate Girl Scout Week

Posted

Raquette Valley Girl Scouts celebrated Girl Scout Week, March 6 to 12, with 16 troops and groups gathered at the Potsdam Middle School on March 9.

The individual troops, consisting of girls from ages 5 to 17, displayed scouting information, badges, uniforms, and insignia from the past 100 years of Girl Scouting in the United States.

As Girl Scouting was founded in the U.S. in 1912, Girl Scouts will be celebrating 100 years of Scouting in 2012.

The troops also made troop donations to the Juliette Low World Friendship Fund in memory of the founder of scouting Juliette “Daisy” Gordon Low.

For Girl Scout week the troops also made fleece pillows, which are on display in the windows of Misty Hollow on Market Street in downtown Potsdam, and will then be donated to the Emergency Care facility at Canton-Potsdam Hospital.
