The Adopt-A-Grandparent program encourages individual responsibility for our community through interaction with elderly. Adopt-A-Grandparent Program is Betty Ramsland's Gold Award Project from September 2014 that continues to have a positive impact on the community through the monthly troop visits. Adopt-A-Grandparent enables Girl Scouts to be meet with residents at Westminster Canterbury that have limited or no contact with friends or family. During the program, Girl Scouts meet and socialize with residents and participate in activities, crafts, and events.

Below are some options for activities while you are there:

Every Wednesday, 6:30pm is Bingo at the Hoy Center.

Every Thursday, 3:00pm are Craft Days at the Hoy Center.

Every Saturday 9:30am - 12:00pm is donuts and exercise; can substitute crafts if the girls ask.

Any day or time the girls can come by to talk to the patients/residents for one on one time; each room has a tablet so the girls can play games/puzzles with them.

Check the calendar below to see when your troop can help; the goal is to have one troop per month but there is no limit and multiple troops can go in any month.
