Holy Girl Scouts!
Posted by admin under: council news .
I didn’t know churches could disband, but I guess so according to Rachel Pritchett of the Kitsap Sun. The Girl Scouts in Bremerton, Washington are moving to a bigger headquarters and I guess there won’t be any need to have a blessing done on the building since it used to be a church.
Forced into the move by a pending corner-widening project, Girl Scouts of Western Washington seized the opportunity to get bigger digs to expand its programs.
…
The building there has 5,800 square feet of space and will require modifications to turn it from a church into a Girl Scout center. Those include a new roof.
…
The Scouts’ new home was formerly occupied by Trinity Mission Baptist Church, and that congregation has disbanded.
Corner-widening. That just sounds made-up, doesn’t it? That’s it. I just thought it was different for a council to take over a church.
