Girl Scout Cookies & High Tea Event

Far more than just cookies!

What a great time participating in the Girl Scout Cookies & High Tea Event put on by the Girl Scouts of West Central Florida and Commissioner Ruth Schlabach.  It was a powerful opportunity to learn more about the Girl Scouts and their goals for Citrus County.

The Girl Scouts are 2.7 million strong—1.9 million girls and 800,000 adults who believe in the power of every girl to change the world. Currently, there are over 200 Girl Scouts in Citrus County programs, but they working to expand that to 800 by 2025.

Through the Girl Scout Leadership Experience—a collection of engaging, challenging, and fun activities like earning badges, going on awesome trips, entrepreneurship, exploring science, getting outdoors, and doing community service projects. These age-appropriate opportunities are for those in Grades K-1, Brownies. Grades 2-3, Juniors. Grades 4-5, Cadettes. Grades 6-8, Seniors. Grades 9-10, and Ambassadors. Grades 11-12.

Thank you, Commissioner Schlabach, and all the leaders that made the event possible and for your work to promote Girl Scouts!

We are excited about the future growth for Citrus County girls and families and for opportunities to help continue to promote these amazing ladies!

CRHS NJROTC scuba class begins

These Plankowners are anchors away!

A few months ago a mission began to bring an additional specialized learning and leadership opportunity to the Crystal River High School Naval Science Junior Reserve Officers Training Corps. That opportunity would be for junior and senior level Cadets to become NAUI scuba certified. On Thursday, July 28, 2022, these ‘Plankowners’ began their classroom instruction in the media center at CRHS. (Plankoeners is a Naval term to describe an individual who was an initial commissioned member of the crew.)

This opportunity did not happen easily it took a coordinated effort from CRHS Naval Science Instructors Chief Warrant Officer Liz Rivera and Senior Chief Maurice Perine, Kings Bay Rotarian, and retired Marine Tom Gotterup, the local NAUI instructors, and the CRHS and Citrus School Districts Administrators. In addition, a special significate donation to the CRHS NJROTC was provided for the initial scuba equipment for the program to begin.

Through these efforts, the young Cadets and their instructors will be the Plankowners of this program at CRHS NJROTC. This experience will provide new special skills and expose them to the possibilities of underwater careers and opportunities.

Thank you to all the community members, educators, parents, and other supporters that have made this program possible for our CRHS NJROTC Cadets!
