Girl Scouts - does it conjure up fond memories for you of friends made in your youth, with whom you learned new skills and earned patches, of special events and field trips, of Brownie beanies and adding pins to your sashes?  

    Those good times could be experienced by your daughter if you sign her up for Girl Scouts this fall.  A walk-in registration event was held in late September, but it's not too late to join a troop, as new ones are being put together right now!  Find out how to sign up by contacting Cindy Schatz, Wakefield's Girl Scout registrar: 781-246-1273 or email: schatzca@msn.com.

    Parents are needed to serve in the important roles of leaders and troop volunteers, without which we can not have troops.  Basic training for leaders is provided right here in town and takes just a couple of hours. A new leader orientation is scheduled for Thursday, October 25, so to sign-up or discuss other training options, contact Barbara Worley at 781-245-8084 or worleyworld@aol.com.
