Girl Scouts Learn About Russian Christmas
On December 17, 2005 members of Girl Scout Troop 862 South West Region had a bronze medal activity at Natchez High School to learn about celebrating heritage in another country. Elena Dobrynina from Voronezh, Russia, who works for the Office of University Relations at Alcorn State, was invited to share with the scout members and their leaders the tradition of celebrating Christmas and New Years in Russia, particularly in her family.
The girls asked questions about the Russian culture, listened to Christmas songs, and looked at some pictures. Elena will be helping the girls to present Russia during “Thinking Day”, a national girl scout activity designed to help Girl Scouts and Leaders learn about their sisters around the world. This event will be held at 10:00 a.m., in the Natchez Mall on February 18, 2006. All Girl Scout Troops from the region are welcome to participate and represent a country with an authentic song, dance, and a sample of the country’s cuisine.
