This fall, Millis Girl Scouts in grades 1 to 6 decorated the town with themed scarecrows as a fun way to build connection with their community. 

“Our goal was to have the scarecrows be mostly visible driving through our downtown area,” says Allison Martino who, along with Janeane Scanell are service unit coordinators for the Millis Girl Scouts. “All of the troops worked so hard on them and we look forward to doing more projects like this in the future.”
