Marion Girl Scouts Junior Troop 980 attended an overnighter at the RG&E Manor House in June where they searched for fossils on the beach, did crafts, worked on badges, sang songs around the campfire and went on a nature scavenger hunt around the property. They attended the COTC program at Comstock in July, where they learned archery, how to cook over a campfire, did crafts and participated in water sports.

In August the girls attended the Monroe County Sports Festival at Frontier Fields. The girls signed up for and participated in five different sporting events of their choosing, had lunch presented by the Outback Steakhouse, and received a 'goodie' bag of free stuff at the end of the day.
