In Oakley there are more than 120 registered Girl Scouts in 17 troops. After the proclamation, the Scouts joined hands in a traditional friendship circle, closed with a song, and said their goodbyes to fellow Scouts.
In addition, Girl Scouts in East Contra Costa Association was also treated to a 95th birthday party on March 15. More than 300 girls attended to play carnival games, make crafts and enjoy birthday cake.
Another highlight of the event was a Girl Scout dressed up as Juliette Gordon Low, the founder of Girl Scouts of America. She captivated attendees with stories of her adventure, all with a proper accent.
