To bring their work directly into the community, the Scouts will host an in-person event on Saturday, May 17 from 2:30 to 3:30 p.m., where they will share their materials and connect with local families.
The event will take place at the Unitarian Universalist Congregational Society of Westborough, 64 West Main St. Attendees can sign up here.
The event will give attendees a chance to learn practical hair care techniques, explore the group’s resources, and engage with the Scouts behind the project.
The Silver Award requires Girl Scouts to identify a community need and develop a sustainable solution. Through their focus on self-confidence and education, Myra, Sarayu and Hasini hope their project will have a lasting positive impact on young girls in Westborough and beyond.
