Area celebrates 60th year of New Castle Girl Scouts
In New Castle area history, the 60th anniversary of the local Girl Scout Council mirrors the national 75th milestone. Elizabeth Reis, first president of the council formed in 1927, recalls camp memories and the era of borrowing a boy scout camp for girl scouts. Her memories contrast with current scouts Valerie and Erin McCartt, who continue the legacy, while family ties to scouting persist across generations.
