Catching up with Girl Scouts

The “hot stove” Red Sox off-season discussions have begun, but some Andover Girl Scouts have memories of standing on the Fenway Park grass to keep them warm and happy this winter.

Andover Girl Scouts in troop 60919 took part in the Scout’s Fenway day this past season.

Maddie Zerbey sang the national anthem and Olivia Gaspar called out “play ball!” before the start of the June 8 game.

American Idol judge, dancer and singer Paula Abdul was on hand.

Other members of troop 60919 include Maria Papadopoulos, Amanda Clark, Abigail Zerbey, Elvena Bielecki, Sydney Mario and Lauren Kramer, all of whom were among the 1,000 Girl Scouts who took part in the “Cookies for a Cause” event at Hanscom Air Force Base earlier this year that sent more than 30,000 boxes of cookies to troops serving in other countries.
