Girl Scouting builds girls of courage, confidence and character, who make the world a better place. Girl Scouts of Central & Southern New Jersey (GSCSNJ) welcomes all girls who wish to accept the Girl Scout Promise and Law. Age-progressive activities enable girls from diverse backgrounds to develop leadership, explore interest areas, learn the value of community service, and learn positive decision making skills. Under the guidance of trained adult volunteers, girls participate in self-esteem-building activities. The Council has been chartered by Girl Scouts of the USA to deliver its program in an all-girl environment.
Girl Scout Leadership Experience
The Girl Scout Leadership Experience helps girls learn the three keys to leadership through discovering themselves, connecting with others and taking action to make the world a better place.
THE GIRL SCOUT PROMISE

To serve God and my country,
To help people at all times,
And to live by the Girl Scout Law.

Tomorrow is the first day of Spring and I've already had several people ask when is this years Easter Egg Hunt!
This years egg hunt is set for Saturday 4/4/09 with a rain date of Sunday. The event starts promptly at 12 noon over at Conrow Park (by the water tower). Don't be a minute late! If you've been there before, you know that once the whistle blows, the hunt is over in seconds!
To give you an idea, here is video from a couple of years ago:
It's nearing that time again, and if this year is anything like last year, expect a large incoming kindergarten class.
Registration will occur Tuesday, March 31, and Wednesday, April 1, 2009 from 9:00 – 11:30 am and 1:00 – 3:00 pm at the Board of Education on Hartford Rd.
You'll need a birth certificate, copy of immunization records, proof of residency and completed registration forms. The registration forms are on the schools website. During registration you'll also schedule an assessment to be held end of April at Millbridge.

A stray kitten found Thursday in Delran has tested positive for rabies.
The Burlington County Health Department today warned area residents to avoid stray cats and to update their pets' immunizations.
Anyone who had contact with the kitten, found on Moreland Drive, may have been exposed to rabies and should contact their doctor as soon as possible, county epidemiologist Jennifer Horner said in a statement.
"Rabies is transmitted through saliva by bites or scratches," said the department's William Weisgarber. "It's carried by raccoons, skunks and bats. We're warning people to be cautious. Don't feed wild animals."
For information, call the county's rabies control line at 609-265-5789.
**Update 3/10** This story has made MSNBC - read here
This past weekend the BCT ran an article about the deteriorating conditions over at Castle Harbor. It definitely raises some eye brows as many have no idea about what is going on over by the river. The best quote of the article has to be: "We have a government we can't afford and a government that doesn't do anything."
You can read the full article by Todd Mchale here. Some highlights...
"It looks like a hurricane blew through Delran and wreaked havoc on the Castle Harbor Marina.
While the powerful winds that blew through the region on Thursday damaged the marina, a number of people in the area say it's just the latest in a long string of events that have left the marina off St. Mihiel Drive in disrepair.
Area residents, businessmen and boaters said they haven't seen the owner in weeks.
We have fished out water heaters, cushions, wood and other trash from the sunken boats since the summer..."
*Update 2/22* The BCT ran another article on the situation: Read more...
*Update 2/24* ABC news ran a story on the marina: Watch now...
Wishing you and your family a happy holiday season...
The Delran school board also sweated out a close race as voters approved a $20.1 million bond referendum to fund renovations and additions to the elementary, intermediate, middle and high schools. The vote passed, 1,176 to 1,131.
“We are grateful to voters of the community that they made a positive decision on our students and district,” said Lee-Anne Oros, director of special projects for the Delran School District.
