October 2024 was a month to remember for the Larchmont-Mamaroneck Service Unit! On October 7th, the service unit celebrated the dedication of a historical marker from the William G. Pomeroy foundation marking the significance of the Larchmont-Mamaroneck Girl Scout House as part of the New York, Westchester & Boston Railway. View News12 story on the dedication.
On October 27, the service unit celebrated its 100th Anniversary!
