Approximately 70 people attended Girl Scouts of Connecticut’s ribbon-cutting ceremony that officially opened the Girl Scouts of Connecticut Museum to the public on Sunday, March 10.
Girl Scouts of Connecticut also thanked its founding donors for the funds, support, and efforts undertaken to make this dream a reality. The founding donors are Cheryl & Steve McGuff, with additional gifts from Phyllis Palm and East Hampton resident Peg Standley. The museum, located at the North Haven Service Center on 20 Washington Avenue, features artifacts, books, and documents that chronicle the past 100 years of Girl Scouting in Connecticut.
“Sunday was a great day to recognize our generous founding donors on the opening of our museum,” said Mary Barneby, CEO, Girl Scouts of Connecticut. “This museum has been a dream of ours for many years, and thanks to our founding donors and supporters, it is now a reality. We invite the public to come in and learn more about the history of Girl Scouting in Connecticut!”
