Greenwich Girl Scouts lead color guard and pledge at Town Hall meeting

The Greenwich Representative Town Meeting on March 10, 2025, featured a special presentation by local Girl Scouts, who led the assembly in a color guard ceremony and the Pledge of Allegiance. The event marked the anniversary of the Girl Scouts, founded on March 12, 1912, by Juliet Gordon Lowe in Savannah, Georgia.

During the meeting, sixth grader Adelina Ponce introduced the color guard and invited attendees to participate in the pledge. Following the ceremony, Ponce announced an upcoming event on April 6, where the Greenwich Girl Scouts, in collaboration with the League of Women Voters, will host their annual "Women in Government" event at Town Hall. This expo-style event aims to educate young constituents about civic engagement and will feature tours of Town Hall led by local officials, including Selectwoman Raven and Select Person McWeegan. Connecticut Secretary of State Stephanie Thomas is also expected to attend.

The event is free and open to the public, encouraging community involvement and awareness of local government. Ponce also reminded attendees that Girl Scout cookies will be available starting March 22, further promoting the organization's activities.

The meeting concluded with a call for participation in the April event, highlighting its importance in fostering interest in local governance among youth.
