Thank you for joining us for the 2023 Take the Lead Berks County event on Wednesday, April 12!
We hope you enjoyed some of the camp-themed stations like soft archery and the art installation, as well as celebrating our four outstanding honorees, Desha Dickson, Virginia Dodge, Virginia Rush, and Adelle Schade, and of course, our Girl Scouts!
Your support ensures all girls throughout Berks County have the opportunity to learn how to become the leaders of tomorrow through the Girl Scout Leadership Experience. We would like to give a special thank you to the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Reading for hosting the event, as well as our co-chairs and event committee for their dedication to this year's event, and for building girls of courage, confidence, and character who make the world a better place.
