Girl Scouts host Tea Party for moms and daughters

Girl Scouts from Sisters, Bend, Redmond and La Pine gathered at Sisters Community Church on Sunday afternoon to celebrate the bond between mothers and daughters with a tea and craft session.

The girls made wind socks and badges and other items with help from mom. There were some 150 people attending the event, ranging from four-year-old Daisies to middle school-aged Cadets.

After the craft session, the mothers and daughters shared tea. Each selected a teacup to take home.

According to Girl Scout leader Evelyn Brush, the teacups carried a symbolic meaning: The girls plant flower seeds in their teacups while mothers transplant flowers into theirs.

“The girls are the future flowers and the moms are blossoming now,” Brush explained.

Lutton’s Ace Hardware donated seeds for the event, while The Paper Place and Cook’s Nook donated paper goods.
