Local Girl Scouts Honor Brettonwoods' Female Leaders in New Book Project

Girl Scout Junior Troop 230, made up of 4th and 5th graders from Brettonwoods Elementary School, is working on a project for their Bronze Award. They are creating a book that features influential women leaders from their community, especially those in roles typically held by men. This project is part of their requirement for the Girl Scouts Bronze Award and aims to educate and inspire others about the contributions of these women.

The troop included Islip Town Supervisor Angie Carpenter in their book. Carpenter is the first woman to hold this position in the town, marking a significant step for gender equality in local governance. Her story emphasizes the importance of female leadership and breaking gender barriers.

At a meeting on May 3rd, 2024, Supervisor Carpenter thanked the troop and stressed the value of recognizing women's achievements. She hopes her story will motivate young girls to pursue leadership positions.

The book will also highlight other leaders like Supreme Court Justice Alison J. Napolitano, adding more examples of successful women in high-ranking roles. This not only adds variety to the book but also expands the range of role models for readers.
