Girl Scout troop in Alton is learning new skills and making friends
ALTON, NH – Girl Scout Daisy Troop 62948 has been very busy since forming last fall, learning life skills that will serve them well as they grow up. The troop includes 12 girls in kindergarten and first grade. Sharing troop leader duties are Elysia Sleeper, Sara Tower and Michaeleen Sicard.
Sleeper said they are more than happy to welcome new members, adding that the girls are very supportive and love meeting new girls and making new friends. Some knew each other before joining the troop, but more friendships developed as they got to know others.
“We currently meet every other Sunday,’ she said, “and have done activities such as having each girl decorate a Daisy Flower to represent themselves in the troop, making a Christmas ornament, earning four Daisy petals, going on a troop hike and have had two cookie booths for their very first season. We are looking forward to warmer weather to get outside, being more active in the community and earning more badges! Michaeleen, one of our leaders, also has access to horses where the girls can learn about caring for animals. The girls have also expressed an interest in camping and crafts.
“We are all very excited to watch the girls as they explore and experience new adventures!”

We Are Girl Scouts
Girl Scouts bring their dreams to life and work together to build a better world. Through programs from coast to coast, Girl Scouts of all backgrounds and abilities can be unapologetically themselves as they discover their strengths and rise to meet new challenges—whether they want to climb to the top of a tree or the top of their class, lace up their boots for a hike or advocate for climate justice, or make their first best friends. Backed by trusted adult volunteers, mentors, and millions of alums, Girl Scouts lead the way as they find their voices and make changes that affect the issues most important to them. To join us, volunteer, reconnect, or donate, visit girlscouts.org.
Girl Scouts of the Green and White Mountains serves girls throughout New Hampshire and Vermont through volunteer-run troops, events, and virtual programs. Visit www.girlscoutsgwm.org to learn more.
