Girl Scouts are coming to RFT!
We will be starting our own Girl Scout troop in the next month or so. Why? Girl Scouts is an organization dedicated to helping develop young women. Girl Scouts builds girls with courage, confidence and character so they can make the world a better place. They become better leaders by discovering, connecting and taking action!
What do they do?
They learn by doing, inspiring and motivating others along the way. There are badge activities designed to expose them to different aspects of the world around them. They do service projects, and yes, even sell cookies!
