Girl Scouting supporters attend luncheon

By Jim Lisk, Editor

Thursday, May 15, 2008 The Friends of Girl Scouting in Stanly and Montgomery counties celebrated a year of growth within the Hornets’ Nest Council with a luncheon last week at Stanly Regional Medical Center (SRMC).

Michelle Carver of Bank of Stanly, a key sponsor along with SRMC, welcomed the guests to the Magnolia Room and recalled her scouting days.

“Girls have always been taught to believe in themselves and that they can make a difference,” Carver said.

Albemarle High junior Kelsie Sellers, who entered scouting as a freshman at AHS, said that scouting had proven to be “more than just selling cookies.”

“Scouting has helped me to not take life for granted and has shown me the value of the dollar,” Sellers said.

As a result, Sellers first took a job, then set up her own baby-sitting business and maintains records of what she makes and spends.

For scout leader Dana Spivey, her most memorable experience was seeing the excitement and awe within the eyes of a couple young scouts on their troop’s year-end trip to the beach.

“Their eyes were this big,” Spivey said, her hands forming a huge circle.

“That’s what Girl Scouts is all about for me, watching the girls grow and experience new things.”

Sally Daley, executive vice president of the Hornets’ Nest Council, said: “We are teaching girls to show, not tell. Everything we undertake is to give the girls first-hand experience and teach them that Girl Scouts lead by kind words, thoughtful deeds and are always mentors to the younger.”

On this day, the Hornets’ Nest Council presented their highest award, the Gold Award, to Rebekah Ayscue for her extensive community development.

Ayscue planned and directed a summer arts council through her home church, First Presbyterian in Albemarle. The 60 campers performed a drama entitled, “The Rock Slinger and His Greatest Hits.”

A 2007 graduate of the North Carolina School of Science and Math, Ayscue thanked her many scout leaders over the years via a taped message from Halls University in Roanoke, Va., where she was in the middle of final exams. She hopes to become a troop leader in the Roanoke area this fall.

In accepting the award for her daughter, Rev. Elizabeth Ayscue said: “Rebekah learned responsibility through scouting while developing excellent relationships with other girls and their women leaders. I’m eternally grateful to scouting for its positive influence in Rebekah’s life.”
