Join Girl Scouts of Central Maryland for an afternoon of fun, friendship, and Girl Scout spirit as we celebrate America’s 250th anniversary—and the incredible women who helped shape our nation from making the symbol of our country, the American Flag, to fighting for the right to vote.

• Dress as your favorite American heroine or something that represents America (such as the Statue of Liberty) - (optional!)
• Enjoy games, crafts, music, and food trucks
• Discover fascinating facts about the American flag
• Experience an official Flag Retirement Ceremony
• Meet a GSUSA National Board member and former U.S. Navy Captain who led Navy Reserve units and Special Operations
• And every Girl Scout attendee receives a commemorative America’s 250th patch!

Best of all, this event is FREE!

Bring your troop, bring your friends, and get ready for a spectacular afternoon celebrating our country and the women who helped make its story possible.
