Belonging Starts Here - Whether your family is new to Scouting or seasoned pros, you’ll feel right at home. We’re a welcoming crew of mentors, youth, and parents who support one another—no pressure, no judging, no yelling, just encouragement, growth, and fun. Real Skills. Real Impact. - Scouts don’t just earn badges—they earn confidence, problem-solving abilities, achieving their goals, and leadership that extends far beyond the troop. This is preparation for life —and we mean every word. All Ages, All Adventures We welcome boys and girls from kindergarten through high school, whether they’re exploring nature, learning new skills, or forming lasting friendships, Scouts thrive in a supportive community that cheers them on at every step. Inclusive, Welcoming, United Here, diversity is embraced and every family is met where they are—with open arms and no pressure. Scouting moves at your pace, with zero judgement and full support. Because we're all in this together. Come Join Us! Meetings are held Thursday evenings (one night - all groups!) at Trinity Episcopal Church, right on the Branford Green.

While at Christie’s, she was involved with important sales such as ‘The Pine Cone Egg’ by Carl Fabergé and ‘The Taft’ Stradivari which fetched the auction record for an instrument sold in the United States. She has also been an appraiser on the PBS production ‘The Antiques Roadshow’.
A supporter of several fine and decorative art related institutions, Genevieve has served on the Board of the National Society of Colonial Dames in the State of New York, served as a member of the Young Fellows Steering Committee of the Frick Collection from 1995 to 2005 and co-Chaired the Winter Antiques Show Young Collector’s Night, New York in 2004, 2005, and 2006.
