Girl Scouts

Your Blogger, who was an avid Girl Scout in her youth, is delighted to hear that the scouts are still extremely active. The local scouts recently had a "Gals and Pals" event for girls and their fathers or grandfathers at Anson B. Nixon Park in Kennett Square. Upcoming events include a sleepover on the Battleship New Jersey, an engineering program at the University of Delaware, a nursing program, "Local Lore" at the Brandywine River Museum "and then the usual hikes, camping, orienteering, dances and field trips and leadership opportunities," according to Karen D'Agusto, who is still very involved with scouting even though both her daughters are grown.
