Local United Way supports Girl Scouts amid budget aid
United Way contributions aid Girl Scouts of Mid-Continent Council including Franklin County by subsidizing conferences and five camps. In 2005 the drive allocated $2,000 to the scouts, with about 8 percent of the council's annual budget coming from United Way. Cadettes describe leadership training, camping, zip lining, archery, budgeting and teamwork as key benefits while leaders note a non threatening environment that encourages risk taking. For more information visit the council site or call Angela Ferrell.
