  • Grant County Girl Scouts need leaders

    It’s that time of year again, when the Daisies and Brownies go door to door selling their famous cookies. But they need more than people buying Girl Scout cookies; Grant County Girl Scouts are in need of troop leaders.

    Sarah Dunn was the lone senior on the Williamstown varsity cheerleading squad, but she relished the opportunity of leading by example and working with her mom, Tina, as the coach.

    “This year has definitely been a fun year,” Sarah said. “Two years ago, we had Jennifer Eckler as the coach and it was right in the middle. We had serious and fun moments. With Angie Williams as coach last year, it was serious, but it was fun because we were really good. This year has been all fun. It’s been good because I’ve had a good mixture in all my years.”
