On Saturday March 10th, the Akwesasne Girl Scouts celebrated 100 Year Anniversary of Girl Scouts. Over 90 participants attended the event and were treated to a Girl Scout Cookie Buffet along with other snacks and drinks. Many door prizes were given out during the event.  Some activities included a Cookie Booth Sale, 100 turn hula hoop contest, 100 years from now essay contest, and 100 years coloring contest. Each Girl Scout received a goodie bag and a 100th anniversary patch to wear on their sashes. Special guest was Michele (Layton) Bowen who was a former Girl Scout with Troop 37 in Fort Covington from (1979-1987). Michele was the judge for the essay and coloring contest. She flew in from Texas to attend the celebration.
