Great Girl Scouts event

Mon, 04/24/2017 - 12:30pm

Dear Editor:

This weekend, the Midcoast Service Unit of Girl Scouts of Maine held its annual sleepover at the Wiscasset Community Center. This year's sports-themed event was planned entirely by Cadette and Senior Girl Scouts from Troop 1664, Wiscasset, and Troop 1936, Nobleboro.

On behalf of the girls who planned the event and everyone who attended, I would like to thank the Wiscasset Community Center for once again allowing us to hold our event in their awesome facility. The lifeguards were wonderful, as usual, and Rob was brave enough to spend the night locked in the building with a bunch of little girls (he didn't even run away during the contest to see which troop was the loudest!). Thank you also to Dr Joanne Kaplan, who volunteered her time as our Event First Aider and saw to our few minor boo-boos.

We would also like to send a special thank you to the Wiscasset Masons. Every year these wonderful men show up at well before the crack of dawn to make breakfast for everyone in attendance, and send us on our way well fed and happy. We truly couldn't do it without you!

Looking forward to next year's event,

Wendy Donovan

Midcoast Service Team Manager

Troop Leader, Girl Scout Troops 1664 and 478

And the ladies of Troop 1664 and 478, Wiscasset, and Troops 1936 and 144, Nobleboro
