Old People Adopted by Girl Scouts
Elizabeth Toomey reports in New York that more than 500 elderly residents have been adopted by teenage Girl Scouts. The program, started five years ago in metropolitan troops, involves 8,000 girls and 523 seniors in the five boroughs receiving cards, visits, and gifts. Individual attention, such as focused visits by 20 girls to one elder, is credited with its success and mutual learning for both generations.
