Nearly 100 Lexington Girl Scouts convened Friday, Oct. 28 for a night hike around Camp Cedar Hill in Waltham followed by skits, songs, and s’mores around the campfire. True to the girl-led model of Girl Scouts, this event was planned and hosted by Troop 82301, which is comprised of 5th graders from Lexington. Each troop had an opportunity to perform a skit or song for the other Girl Scouts. From teaching the seven principles of Leave No Trace to performing skits about teamwork as well as leading ‘repeat after me’ and ‘do as I do’ songs, these Girl Scouts had fun carrying out the other key experiential processes Girl Scouts provides girls: learning by doing and cooperative learning.
