girl scouts of the colonial coast
Before the ceremony, several former Council presidents
gathered for a luncheon hosted by current Board Chair Carolene Goodwyn-Harris
where they learned about new Girl Scout badges and Council property
initiatives. And like all Girl Scout alum gatherings, there was time to
reconnect and share Girl Scout memories. Among those who attended was
Carolyn Abron-McCadden who served as GSCCC Board President from 1987 to 1991.
As a special gesture of Girl Scout sisterhood, Carolyn purchased a brick
of honor for every past GSCCC president/chair!
“When I saw the request for the bricks, I thought about all
of the women I had worked with and I thought it would be appropriate for each
of us to have a brick,” she said.
Among those who donated a brick this year was Brittany
Orosco, a Girl Scout volunteer and mother of Girl
Scouts Brianna, a Cadette, and Isabella, a Senior. Isabella was excited
to see the message on the brick.
“Empowered women empower women is what’s on the brick, along
with mine and my sister’s troop number, 365,” Isabella said. “It’s everything
Girl Scouts stands for.”
In addition to the past presidents, the following persons
were honored with a Brick of Honor this year:
- Beth Aberth
