Girl Scouts in Baker and Zachary are holding three recruitment events in September to invite more girls to join Girl Scouting. The Zachary recruitment events are Saturday, Sept. 8, from 1:30-2:30 p.m. and Thursday, Sept. 13, from 7-8 p.m. at the Zachary Library, 1900 Church St.

The Baker event is Monday, Sept. 10, from 6 -7 p.m. at the Baker Library, 3501 Groom Rd. Each event is an opportunity for families to learn more about the Girl Scout Leadership Experience and to register their daughters in Girl Scouts, as well as for adults who are interested in volunteering with Girl Scouts.

The mission of Girl Scouting is to build girls of courage, confidence and character who make the world a better place.

In partnership with caring, adult volunteers, girls will develop leadership skills as they discover new interests, connect with others and take action on issues that are important to them. Membership is $12 per year for girls and adults, making it a positive and affordable option for today’s busy families.

Some favorite areas of interest for girls and adults include camping, health and fitness, the arts, science and technology, travel, cookie-selling and much more.

More information about the Girl Scout Leadership Experience is available at www.gsle.org.

The Girl Scout program levels are: Girl Scout Daisies, Kindergarten – 1st-grade; Girl Scout Brownies, grades 2nd-3rd; Girl Scout Juniors, grades 4-5th; Girl Scout Cadettes, grades 6-8th; Girl Scout Seniors, grades 9-10th; and Girl Scout Ambassadors, grades 11-12th.

No girl is denied membership for financial reasons.
