New Scouts BSA Girls Troop forming in Canfield The next gathering for a new Scouts BSA Girls Troop will be on July 24 at 7 p.m. in the parking lot at Canfield United Methodist Church, located at 27 S. Broad St. (State Route 46S) on the green. You do not have to live in the Canfield area to participate. The goal of this troop is to build self-confidence, leadership and life skills.

The girls’ interest and their family’s dedication will make the troop grow and thrive. This is a girl-led program, where the girls are the youth leaders and will take it upon themselves to advance. They

will go through the same ranks and training of the traditional Boy Scout program, with the potential to achieve Eagle Scout.

While proceeding through the ranks, the girls will learn skills and have experiences that will last a lifetime. It is a program with a backbone of guidance from many decades of experience within Boy Troop 25. Lisa Henry and Suzanne Heino have stepped up to lead the troop and are excited at the opportunities this provides for not only their daughters, but all in the community. Both have sons who earned their Arrow of Light in Cub Scout Pack 25 and now are in Boy Scout Troop 25. If you are unable to join on July 24, call or text either Suzanne Heino at 330-261-3127 or Lisa Henry at 330-519-3752 and they will send you an updated schedule and other details.

Kollar then read a fill-in-theblank of a portion of the story, while the children yelled out the answers. Next, Kollar led the children in dancing to “Do the Mouse Cookie Song” during which the children clapped, jumped and danced.

Cramer then read the children “If You Give a Cat a Cupcake,” while Kollar animated the story with a puppet show.

To end the story time, Kollar and Cramer invited the children to create two crafts they had set up on tables. At the first table, in keeping with the theme of Numeroff’s book, “If You Give a

Cat a Cupcake,” children could decorate a cupcake with stickers and ‘sprinkles.’ At the second craft table, children could create a mouse out of the letter M by adding eyes, ears, a nose and whiskers, as in the book “If You Give a Mouse a Cookie.”

Kollar and Cramer also had

Numeroff book themed coloring sheets, a maze sheet, connect the dots and find the hidden objects sheets for the children to complete at the library or take home if they wished.

Mill Creek Park hosts Park Pals summer camp

By JESSICA HARKER jharker@vindy.com

Mill Creek Park hosted their annual Park Pals summer camp for 5- and 6-year-olds.

Naturalist Marilyn Williams hosted the week long day camp for 12 children.

“The park has been doing the camps for a long time. It’s a good way to get children out of the house and off of the electronics,” Williams said.

The theme of the week was “Where the Critters Are,” which Williams said focused on different animals and their habitats around the park.

“We have a lot of beautiful sights around the park, and even in a week we don’t have enough

time to explore them all,” Williams said.

During the week Williams said that the group visited the Lily Pond, Bears Creek and the Old Log Cabin among others.

She said that each day started with coloring before hiking into nature to explore the different habitats.

“At this age the goal is to expose them to what the park has to offer, and to impart the importance of habitat maintenance,” Williams said.

Children spent the week looking at birds, searching for box turtles and finding salamanders.

“At this age many of the kids are shy at first,” Williams said.

“But they get more comfortable as the week goes on.”

She said that along with learning about the park and its inhabitants, an important part of the camp is making friends.

The week ended with a special boat ride on Lake Glacier.

“By the end of the week children don’t want to go home from the park, and the encourage their families to come back throughout the summer,” Williams said.

The park will host a number of other camps for different age groups throughout the summer.

Donuts with Dad event offers sweet family fun

By ABBY SLANKER neighbors@vindy.com

Children of all ages brought their dads to the Canfield library to enjoy Donuts with Dad on June 15. The children and their dads enjoyed a morning of fun and games, crafts and, of course, doughnuts.

“This is a low-key event where the children can just hang out with their dads and have fun playing games and doing crafts.

This is the first time we have done this program and it’s nice to see all the dads here. Usually it’s the moms who bring the kids in and it’s nice to see the dads bringing them into the library today,” said Nikki Puhalla, youth services librarian.

The library provided juice, coffee, doughnuts and cookies, along with board games, card games, Legos and corn hole for the children to play with their dads.

Two craft tables were also set up for the children and their dads. One craft table contained giant posters titled “About My Dad” that the children could color and decorate. The children then filled in the blanks with their dad’s favorite hobby, what he does for fun and more.

The other craft was titled “I Love You to the Moon and Back,” which included con-

The PTA also provided a DJ playing music for the students in the gym and a photo booth to take photos as a souvenir of their special day.
