Girl Scouts celebrate with Mother/Daughter Tea
NORWICH – The NYPENN Girl Scout Council hosted its first Mother/Daughter Tea Party and Fashion Show Saturday at the United Church of Christ in Norwich.
Mothers and daughters modeled Girl Scout uniforms from the 1940s to the present that were on loan to the council from their service center in Johnson City before serving tea and snacks to the approximately 30 who attended.
“All of the girls had a great time and we had a relatively good turnout for our first year,” said Karen Banks-Lindner, service unit chairperson and leader for Troop 30378. “We certainly plan on doing this again next year.”
Six troops from Norwich, Greene, Oxford and Afton participated in the event, said Banks-Lindner, who explained it was also the beginning of numerous celebrations for the 100-year anniversary of the Girl Scouts.
On March 12, girl scouts from across the county will gather in West Park in downtown Norwich for a Heritage Day celebration. The event will include a dedication ceremony and 100 candles lit to mark the anniversary. Following the candle lighting ceremony, the scouts will move to the Baptist Church next to the park to continue the celebration and remembrance.
“I believe today’s event went wonderfully,” said NYPENN Pathways Community Development Manager, Maryrose Maiurano. “Troops came from all over and they had a great time ... we’d love to do events like this around the community throughout the year ... we’re working on getting more support.”
Maiurano explained that the girls would also begin their biggest fundraiser of the year, the sale of Girl Scout cookies, on Feb. 18.
“It’s everyone’s favorite time of year,” she said. “Time to get out there and buy some cookies.”
