Girl Scouts Heart of the Hudson is heartbroken to learn and share the news of the passing of one of our Girl Scout Sisters. Delana Weyandt, a member of Troop 356 in Sullivan County, was loved by many and she will be greatly missed. We share our sincere condolences and well wishes for her family, friends, troop members, and all who had the honor of knowing her in life.
If you wish to support Delana's family during this difficult time, there is a GoFundme fundraising campaign and a Meal Train organized by loved ones.

Responsibilities include manning booths where wristbands are handed out to parents with young children, and comforting children while their 'lost parents' are being located if needed. Admission to the fair is provided for the volunteer Girl Scouts and up to three registered Girl Scout Adult Volunteers (depending on the number of girls attending, who would be manning the booths with their Girl Scouts). Shifts are from 10 am – 2 pm, 2 pm – 6 pm, and 6 pm - 10 pm each day of the fair. There are still shifts available. Shifts are reserved on a first come first served basis with emphasis on filling the first two time slots each day. Registration for this event is open until all slots have been filled.
