Girl Scout Float on Display Starting February 6
March 12th marks the Centennial of Girl Scouts, and to commemorate this special anniversary, the Girl Scout troops of Rockland participated in the creation of a "birthday cake" float which was entered in the Tri-Town Veterans' Day Parade.
The 4-tiers of the cake represent each level of Girl Scouts: Daisy, Brownie, Junior, and Cadet/Senior and is titled "Rockland Girl Scouts Celebrate 100 Years of Supporting Our Troops". It was designed and coordinated by Elisa Pollard and assembled with the help of Rachel and David Gear. Each troop made flowers and presented pictures to adorn the float which won the first place trophy.
It will be on display in library's rotunda as part of the popular “Art in the Rotunda” series from February 6 - March 2. Rockland's Girl Scout organization is proud of its community involvement and welcomes you to stop by and take a look!
