Five girls representing Girl Scouts of Eastern South Carolina were accepted into the Girl Scout Legislative Page Class of 2011.
Caitlyn English and Shelly Smith, both of Bennettsville, Ally Luciano of Goose Creek, Kierra Richardson of North Charleston and Tia Brogdon of Turbeville spent three days working in the Statehouse and learning how our government works.
The girls had a brief one-on-one meeting with Gov. Nikki Haley, who issued a proclamation establishing March 6-12, 2011, as Girl Scout Week.
South Carolina Girl Scouts in grades 10 through 12 are eligible to apply for the program. Each applicant is evaluated for leadership skills, community involvement, interest in government and Girl Scout activities by the page program committee.
