Girl Scouts Asking for New Members for Fall

Girls Scout troops all over the Jersey Shore region are recruiting now for new members for the fall.

If you think Girl Scouts spend all their time doing arts and crafts and selling cookies, you're a bit mistaken.

Sure, that's part of it. But today's scouts also learn leadership and financial skills and enjoy activites ranging from building robots to boating, horseback riding, camping, going on field trips and doing community service projects.

The Girl Scouts of the Jersey Shore registration form says today's girl scouts are "ready to make a difference and to be leaders. They learn to have a voice and how to use it, not just to better themselves, but to better their communities as well."
