Girl Scouts Hike The Madeira School



Our Girl Scouts had a great time hiking the Madeira campus on Sunday, July 17th. The weather in the morning was delightful. The girls were excited to see old friends and meet new friends as well.

Every girl there earn her hiking patch. They observed animals, leaves, feathers, daddy-long-legs, a monster catapillar, tad poles, spider webs and a very unique tree growing back into the earth. I did not see one girl being carried despite some BIG hills. Well done Girl Scouts!

A great big "thank you" to all who participated, especially Kim Newsome and Ann Miller at Madeira who so graciously gave of their time to make this event a reality. We will be making this an annual event for the entire service unit so we will hope to see everyone again next spring.
