Chariton Girl Scout Troop #357 held their final meeting for the season at the LCHS last evening. They toured the Stephen's House and enjoyed looking at the display of "vintage" Girl Scout uniforms, scrapbooks and other items from donations made to the museum. A big thank you to Robin Ortiz and Lydia Oxenreider for choosing the museum for your meeting.
** The Girl Scout Display will be up until the end of the month for anyone to come visit and enjoy."
