Girl Scouts from Troop 4810 went to the Maine State House, where they delved into Maine history tucked away in old archives, even discovering papers dating back to the 1800s. Their exploration continued with an insightful tour of both the House of Representatives and Senate chambers, offering them a closer look at how government operates.
A highlight of their visit was an unexpected encounter with Secretary of State Shenna Bellows, herself a proud Girl Scout alum. The girls were inspired by her story and learned how they can make impactful changes in their community. This visit not only broadened their horizons but also exemplified the core Girl Scout values of leadership, history, and civic engagement, leaving a lasting impression on these eager young minds.
