Girl Scout Day is for Girl Scouts of all ages who are interested in America's proud past and how their family connects to this history. (Please note:  Boy Scout Day is April 2.)

The theme of this Girl Scout Day is Stories of Our Past - Look How Far We've Come. Learn about women and girls of the 1830s through storytelling, demonstrations and hands-on activities.  Meet Lydia Maria Child, author of the familiar short story, Over the River and through the Woods.  A woman before her time, she was known for her advice on everything from child-rearing to frugality to travel.  Also, meet Abby Kelly, a controversial figure in that she was an abolitionist and public speaker dedicated to freedom and justice.

Explore the everyday lives of girls and women through demonstrations and performances. Visit the animals and the costumed Villagers throughout the Countryside and the Center Village. If time permits, consider making a quick craft in the Hands-on Crafts Center; $5-10 per activity - first come, first served; some age and safety restrictions apply.

50-minute hands-on studios will also be offered. These activities are designed to meet Brownies Try-Its and Junior Girl Scout Badge requirements. Additional Studios not meeting badge requirements are available for all Scouts and youths.   On-line registration for these studios will open approximately one month in advance.
