On March 12, Girl Scouts of the Colonial Coast CEO Tracy Keller and Board Chair Barbara Tierney, along with several Girl Scout members from Currituck, traveled to Raleigh to take part in the North Carolina Girl Scout Legislative Day. They joined members from other North Carolina Girl Scout councils for the advocacy event. Girl Scout teens Hailey Richardson, Cheyenne Wikkerink, Bethany French, Kilani Conte and Maria Jackson added a tour of the Legislative Library to their day, offered by librarian and Girl Scout alum Kelsey Lewis. The girls viewed and handled state legislative books from the early 1800s and read about current bills, including a bill asking for the Loggerhead Turtle to be named the state’s saltwater reptile!
