Girl Scouts of Western New York to host kick off parties

Free family events introduce girls to the world of Girl Scouts

The Girl Scouts of Western New York (GSWNY) are preparing for a new year of fun, learning and adventure for its members, and part of the experience is to welcome new members, too.

Organizers said, “Make this a year of fun for your girl, and encourage her to become a Girl Scout. Learn more about the lifelong benefits of Girl Scouting at a free kick off party. These parties are family-friendly with games, crafts, refreshments and plenty of opportunity to learn more about Girl Scouts.”

Parties will be held:

√ Saturday, Aug. 5, 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., Parkside Shelter, Delaware Park, Buffalo

√ Saturday, Aug. 12, 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. in Cheektowaga Town Park, 2600 Harlem Road
