Gold Award Girl Scout Morgan Meyer, who plans to go into communications when she graduates, organized a Girl Scout registration night Sept. 28 to encourage youths to learn more about the Scouts and experience what they do.

 

Members of the Girl Scout Service Unit 29's Personal Relations suggested Meyer take on this task to “give her some practice” for her future vocation. 

 

At the registration event, eager girls were able to learn about being a Girl Scout, learn a few scout songs, receive a SWAP (A Girl Scout tradition), and create their own “outfits” out of paper to show off at their “fashion show”,  the Scouts put on. 

 

All the outfits produced were done so in just one short hour.

 

Parents of these girls stayed in the Primary School cafeteria, working with Girl Scout parent volunteers to register their children to join a troop and become a Girl Scout.

 

“Girl Scouts is a wonderful way to build leadership and grow together as a troop, service unit, and community,” said Meyer.

 

The Girl Scout's mission is to “build girls of courage, confidence and character, who make the world a better place.”

 

“As a Girl Scout of 12 years, I completely agree that I — as well as my fellow scouts — have grown in courage, confidence and character in addition to so many other skills the Girl Scouts has taught us,” Meyer said.

 

Meyer encourages any girl to join the fun with Girl Scouts and questions can be directed to the following email address: girlscouts29becker@hotmail.com. 

 

Meyer received her Gold Award (the highest award given to a Girl Scout) in July after she submitted a time log of her nearly 90 hours of work toward her project entitled, Step-by-Step: Recognizing Cystic Fibrosis. She gave a final report identifying how she’s helped improve her community, what she’s done to make a difference, how her project will be sustained and what she’s learned throughout this project.
