Special Leader Event: Thursday April 16 in Norwood

Spend an evening enjoying dinner and hear Dr. Karol Maybury discuss, “The Ten Things Girls Need to be Happy, Healthy and Secure.”
Dr. Maybury is a girl development expert, working with girls, their families and educators around the U.S. on topics related to girls, the media, mental health, and parenting. Dr. Maybury is also the author of her upcoming book, Raising a Natural Girl in a Material World.
After years of working with girls, Dr. Maybury has an excellent handle on the landscape that today’s girls are growing up in and how that differs from the environment that today’s parents, educators and leaders grew up in.
Dr. Maybury acknowledges that this is one of the most challenging times to be a girl and a parent, educator or leader of girls, but she will provide the audience with proven solutions and new ideas on how to be an agile and powerful advisor, parent, educator and leader of today’s girls.
Dr. Maybury is an inspiring speaker and as a girl development expert, parent and Girl Scout Volunteer she is well prepared to motivate us to build Our Girls, Our Future.
This special event offered by Council is open to leaders, adult volunteers and Scouts in grades 9-12.

Council Offering April School Vacation Week Camp Days in Waltham; But No Bus Service This year

Girl Scout Council of Eastern Massachusetts is again offering day camp 4 days during April School vacation.
Each camp has a specific theme and will be held at Cedar Hill in Waltham from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. The cost for each day is $30.
Below is a summary on each day's activities:
April 21: POP STAR CAMP: Create your own pop star persona at camp! Learn how to be a true diva on stage. Create pop star jewelry. End your day with a pop star performance by other campers. The stage is yours!
April 22: Mission Earth Camp: Your mission, should you choose to accept it: Save Planet Earth from global pollution. Master the eco-friendly challenges! Can you recycle more materials than the average girl? Can you complete the trash triathlon? Yes, you can!
April 23: Camp Fabulous: Do you have what it takes to be a fabulous camper? We think so! Come experience why camp is so marvelous! Try outdoor cooking, games, songs and crafts while spending time with friends outdoors.
April 24: Adventure Camp: Do you crave a little adventure in your life? Could you hit the bull's eye in archery if your team depended on you? Boulder across a rock wall or walk the tight wire? Test your limits in this adventure-filled day.

Unfortunately this year, Council has eliminated bus service to the Waltham-based school vacation week camps from the Framingham/Natick area.

COUNCIL's reasoning: "As for April Vacation Camp, we ran buses through Framingham the last 2 years. We had 4-6 girls on the bus. It was not cost effective to continue at this rate."
