Girl Scout Troop 10395 is gearing up for another year of scouting. Girls in Grades K-12 are invited to join (and we would love some new parent volunteers, too!) We are a Girl Scout troop designed to be accessible to the observant Jewish community (we never meet on Shabbat or chagim, and all food served at troop events is Kosher), while being welcoming to all girls. Our first event will be a welcome back party on 9/4/22 from 11 am to 1 pm at Roxbury Park (near the picnic tables). The girls will participate in field day games, while the parents complete registration paperwork. Pizza lunch will be served. Please contact Troop Leader Sabrina Damast with any questions at brigillespie@gmail.com. Hope to see you there!
