Families are invited to experience the adventure of Girl Scouting during Green Flag Weekend, a series of free, family-friendly events hosted by Girl Scouts of North-Central Alabama on Saturday, Aug. 23.
Open to all girls in grades K-12, these events offer a hands-on introduction to the Girl Scout experience — no membership required. Activities include science experiments, art and engineering projects, pony rides, archery, and s’mores.
“This is a welcoming first step into a space where every girl can feel seen, inspired, and excited to try something new,” said Karen Peterlin, CEO of Girl Scouts of North-Central Alabama.
