Milford Girl Scouts have a busy summer

Summer is the perfect time for Milford Girl Scouts to take a break from troop meetings, service projects, and badge earning and simply enjoy the great outdoors and have fun! Troops are able to fund these awesome adventures through the annual cookie sales program, which also teaches girls goal setting, entrepreneurship, and financial skills. Many of these adventures occur over the summer months to take advantage of New England’s warmest months, which is great for visiting Six Flags amusement park, Davis Farmland, Kimball Farm, and other local attractions.

As a quick recap of Milford Girl Scouts summer fun:
•   Daisies (K-grade 1) have enjoyed trampoline parks, tie-dying, and pizza parties. 
•   Brownies (grades 2-3) have created unique Build-A-Bears and pet farm animals.  
•   Juniors (grades 4-5) have cheered on the WooSox and camped overnight on the baseball field in Polar Park.  
•   Cadettes (grades 6-8) have braved ziplines, water parks, and bumper boats/cars, and enjoyed huge ice creams and mini golf.  
•   High school Girl Scouts spent a day in Boston for a Duck Boat tour, IMAX movie, and shopping at Quincy Market, and planned future trips to Montreal and other locations.
Lastly, a graduating troop had their final adventure together in Plymouth for a few days.
Their troop leader, Amy Croteau, says, “Summer trips, whether local or faraway, are the best adventures I have ever had with my girls over the years. I will miss these outings not just for them but for me too!”
