FRAMINGHAM, MA -- Framingham Girl Scouts will have 2 Town-wide Girl Scout Registration Days in October:

• Tuesday, October 14 from 7-9 p.m. at the First United Methodist Church Hall
• Saturday, October 25, from 9 to 11 a.m. in the Costin Room at the Framingham Public Library downtown.

Framingham Girl Scouts is open to girls ages 5-17 (Kindergarten through grade 12).  The registration year is from October 1 through September 30.  A parent or guardian signature is required on each girl's registration form.  The annual membership fee is $10 person (financial aid is available on request). Each individual troop may require an additional fee per meeting or per year.  Checks should be made payable to Eastern Massachusetts Girl Scout Council.

Girls are divided into Daisy-Brownie-Junior-Cadet-Senior troops based on age/grade level.  Girls may join an existing troop, if space is available.  New troops may form throughout the year, and every effort will be made to place each girl in a troop.  If no troop is available for a girl, she may register as a "Juliet" Girl Scout. This enables her to attend Framingham-wide events (like roller skating or bowling activities) as well as council events (including camps).

Adults/parents who wish to attend a meeting or an event must register as a volunteer with Girl Scouts, including paying the $10 membership fee. NEW Leaders are also needed. a leader information session will be held on Oct. 25 at the library.
