March 18, 2023
WILLIAMSBURG – Girl Scouts of the Colonial Coast (GSCCC) held a dedication ceremony on Mar. 12 at Camp Skimino in Williamsburg to recognize the donation and installation of a pond aeration system at the camp, made possible by an effort spearheaded by GSCCC volunteer Amanda Benner of Girl Scout Williamsburg Service Unit 140.
According to reports, the Williamsburg Service Unit’s gift of nearly $4,000 will ensure the pond is clear of invasive algae. In addition to the funds donated by the service unit, a fountain that is part of the aeration system was funded by GSCCC Board Vice Chair Carolyn Pittman. The fountain is named “Claire’s Dancing Waters,” after Pittman’s daughter, Gold Award Girl Scout Claire Pittman, who loves ballet.
