Girl Scout Day at Old Sturbridge Village on Saturday, March 27

Yesterday at our Brownie meeting several of the girls expressed an interest in the Troop attending Old Sturbridge Village. We nixed the idea ONLY because OSV is hosting Girl Scout Day on Saturday, March 27.
So, we wanted to make Parents aware of Girl Scout Day at Old Sturbridge Village. This is an OPTIONAL event.
Last year, more than 1,800 scouts and their families attended, including Troop 72082 members Becky, Bella, Sarah, & Talia.
Admission is at a HUGE discount.
There is also the OPTION of signing up for additional FEE-based workshops to earn additional patches.
Please let me know if you register your daughter.
Registration begins tomorrow, Wednesday, Feb. 24 at osv.org
Additional information is below.
* Scouts are asked to wear uniforms.
* Brownies will receive an activity sheet to complete during their OSV visit. Once completed, Scouts go to the Gift Shop to receive an OSV participation patch, for the back of their vest.

EVENT INFO:
Girl Scout Day is for Girl Scouts of all ages who are interested in learning more about multi-culturalism in New England in the early 19th century. Learn about how minority women paved a way for themselves and those after them. Meet Molly Geet, a Native American Doctress; Mumbet, a slave who fought for her freedom in the Massachusetts court system and won; and Mary Culligan, an Irish Immigrant and hired-hand.
Register online starting Feb. 24.
Also, inspired by Women's History Month, girls can explore the everyday lives of girls and women through demonstrations and performances! Visit the animals and the costumed Villagers throughout the Countryside and the Center Village.
Consider making a quick craft in the Hands-on Crafts Center; $5-10 per activity - first come, first served; some age and safety restrictions apply.
