Paddle Poll and Roll

Paddle, Poll, & Roll: A Celebration to Remember!

Kelsey, from Girl Scouts Troop 3308, paddles through the bay!

What better way to celebrate an achievement than with a refreshing and relaxing kayak trip on Oyster Bay? Girl Scouts Troop 3308, from the Wantagh Seaford Association, came by the WFC to celebrate their Silver Award, which was given recently to the troop for their many contributions and hard work in the community.

The four girls, headed by troop leaders Beth Romer and Lauren Hupert, are Cadets who are about to enter their freshman year in high school, and seem to enjoy time on the water as much as they do spending time with each other! Kelsey, Kelly, Alyssa, and Tazim were enthusiastic about their kayak adventure, and troop leader Beth added, “This is our fourth time back here!” The girls have been to the Waterfront Center before to earn their Water Fun Badge, and seemed right at home on the bay! The Cadets all agreed that their time on the water was a lot of fun, and wore permanent smiles both on and off the water.

Their troop leaders were proud of the girls not only for being recognized in the community, but in coming together for a great cause: Beth said that although the girls have diverse interests and different groups of friends, they love spending time together as a troop and giving back to the community.

The kayaking session - Paddle, Pole, & Roll - is a great way to become more comfortable on a kayak, while experiencing the beautiful views and sharing time with friends or family. The girls spent time bonding out on the water, celebrating their charitable achievements, and added to their growing repertoire of water-sports knowledge - way to go, girls!
