Fabric and craft retailer Joann has teamed up with the Girl Scouts to inspire the next generation of female leaders. Girl Scout troops, volunteers, families and interested members will join in stores across the nation to kick off the fall 2017 season. See more at joann.com/girlscouts.

All Girl Scout troops, interested nonmembers, volunteers and families are invited to local Joann stores from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday to learn how to craft their own sit upon (discount on materials available); enjoy light snacks and beverages; meet and greet local store and district managers for future in-store activities; and learn more about the Girl Scouts organization and, in many locations, meet their local Girl Scout troop leaders.
