Five girls from Rappahannock County got an unexpected invitation recently: a request from the national headquarters for the Girl Scouts of America to represent Scouting at a ceremony at the Department of Interior in Washington, D. C.
On Sept. 16, Ariele Foster, Hollyann Gangel, Jerri Mallory, Fran Overdorf, and Tracy Swift, along with adult leaders Kathryn Gangel and Mary Jane Swift, went to D. C. to represent the country’s girl scouts at the signing of a memorandum of understanding by Secretary of the Interior Donald Hodel. The memorandum, which reflects the common goals and priorities of public and private groups, and which recognizes the efforts of the “Take Pride in America” program, was signed by Secretary Hodel, G. S. A. President Betty Pilsbury, and G. S. A. National Executive Director Frances Hesselbein.
The five Rappahannock Girl Scouts also had an opportunity to talk with Secretary Hodel about his job and the different functions of the Department of the Interior. The Secretary also presented the girls and their leaders with “Take Pride in America” pins and gave them a tour of his office.
Before heading home to Rappahannock County, the group also visited the Dept, of Interior’s museum, the Viet Nam Veterans’ Memorial and the Lincoln Memorial.
