To the Editor:
April 22 is designated as National Girl Scout Leader’s Day. Girl Scout volunteer leaders have been positively impacting girl’s lives since the beginning of Girl Scouting in 1912 when Juliette Gordon Low organized the first Girl Scout Troop in Savannah, Georgia. These leaders are often beacons for girls as they approach womanhood. They provide a foundation of confidence, experience, respect and courage that stays with a young woman throughout her lifetime. A year has passed and we are still in the process of dealing with the coronavirus pandemic. But the Girl Scout volunteers have been going strong to see that the girls stay safe and still can experience activities, events, and badge work to keep them involved with the Girl Scout program.

Cultural burn planned for Nowra’s Triplarina Nature Reserve
The NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) is supporting a cultural burn planned for Triplarina Nature Reserve on Monday 12 April, weather permitting.
Ms Julianne Doyle from NPWS said the 2-hectare burn will be done together with Aboriginal fire practitioners from the Nowra Aboriginal community and Firestick Alliance members.
“The burn is planned to take place in the northern part of the Reserve, just off Yalwal Road which is opposite Filter Road, and will be conducted over a number of days,” said Ms Doyle.
“West Nowra residents may see or smell smoke coming from the Reserve and we thank the Reserve neighbours for their understanding.
