Copley-Fairlawn Girl Scouts Celebrate 100 Years with Food Drive at Summit Mall

troops will kick off the year of the 100th anniversary of Girl Scouting on Thursday, October 20, at Summit Mall. The Girl Scouts are asking the community to bring canned and nonperishable food items to Summit Mall from 6-8 p.m. in the center court. All donated items will benefit the Akron-Canton Regional Foodbank.

The food drive project will activate the Girls Scouts’ year of service. The troops of the Copley-Fairlawn Girl Scout Council hope to complete at least 100 service projects combined by the end of the school year. 

The event will feature an informational presentation about scouting, including teaching the audience some traditional scouting songs, and several games and relays.  Also, current scouts will discuss past service projects and the history of Girl Scouts.  Door prizes will be given away. Girls are encouraged to wear their uniforms.
