Girl Scouts Pohnpei celebrates cultural heritage by challenging girls to learn a Micronesian craft, dance, story, song or dance in order to earn their March proficiency token. Girls are also encouraged to attend the Yap Day festival near March 1st and the Culture Day festivities every March 30th. This year's Culture Day events were held at the Botanical Gardens with dances and songs performed from many different Micronesian cultures. Girl Scouts who are from the islands of Micronesia learned new things about old traditions from their elders and Girl Scouts who are from abroad learned new things about the culture in which they live. It was a very good month for Girl Scouting in Pohnpei. Five new troops were started and several girls completed their challenge for this month.
Way to go girls!
