Weehawken Girl Scouts Learn a Variety of Skills

Hudson Reporter, 12-Dec-14
Weehawken Girl Scout Troops 12933 and 12779 have been busy.

They recently traveled to Branch Brook Park Roller Rink in Newark to participate in a special Girl Scout program called Stemtastic. The girls participated in a STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) lesson and had hands-on activities connected with roller skating. Then they had pizza and skated roller-derby style. The girls learned a lot and had a great time. Troop members who participated were Daisy Scouts Lexie, Audrey, Charlotte, Livyanna; Brownie Scout Kisa; Junior Scout Nina; Cadette Scouts Amelia, Gaby, and Yelienne; Senior Scout Ambar; Troop MentorAmanda Earle; and Troop Leaders Lynn Earle and Evita Fritze.

Also, the sixth to 10th grade members of Girl Scout Troop 12933 assisted the younger scouts of Troop 12779 in making Thanksgiving holiday treats. The girls made pilgrim hats from dipped marshmallows and cookies, teepees from ice cream cones, pretzels and chocolate, as well as turkeys from spice drops, and wagons from cookie wafers, candy, pretzels and icing. They can't wait to participate in the gingerbread house workshop this month.
