Two fun events for all area girls are set with the Bluffton Girl Scouts – one takes place Saturday, and the second in early June.
From 1 to 4 p.m., Saturday, at the Bluffton village park girls will complete science experiments with women mentors from science technology, engineering and mathematics careers.
“Come prepared to get your feet wet and play in the creek,” said Kelly Honse, one of the girl scout leaders.
Then, from Sunday to Wednesday, June 6-9, from 4 to 8 p.m. daily is a nature skills girl scout mini-camp for girls of all ages.
Routes range from a 10-mile Fun Loop to a 63-mile Main Loop. Ride all of the loops for a total of 110 miles. Proceeds benefit Bluffton Pathways Project
The seventh annual Ride to Remember returns after a one-year in-person absence on Saturday, July 10. The ride is sponored by the Bluffton Lions Club Foundation.
The planning committee made the decision that this event can be safely held with certain COVID-19 precautions. And for riders who are still cautious about a group event, an on-your-own virtual event, similar to last year, will also be an option.

In this month of May, I urge parents to help keep their sons and daughters focused on finishing the year strong.
Many of our students are involved in extra-curriculars and, at this time of the year, can see the days of summer ahead testing their time-management skills. Setting aside time to study, do homework, complete final projects, and prepare for final exams helps ensure a successful end to the year.
