Local Girl Scouts Show Off Scout House

Post Girl Scouts held an Open House last week at the Scout House celebrating the 100^th Anniversary of the Girl Scouts and the “new face” recently completed at the house.  Brownie Scouts and Junior Scouts meet in the barn red structure with a spacious interior flooded with natural light.  The house has several meeting areas and a complete kitchen as well as a back yard and a large parking area.   

“With recent funding from two local organizations we have added siding to the house, done plumbing work and put in new floors,” said Carol Tobias, a long-time leader of Girl Scouts in Post.  “Through the years we’ve had continued support from approximately a dozen private donors.”  Without this kind of help, Tobias explained, “After we lost the local United Way, it would have been very difficult to maintain a suitable meeting place for local Girl Scouts.” 

Tobias said that the building was structurally sound, but needed work such as repairs to the front porch.

Carol Tobias, a long-time support of scouting in Post, will receive an award from the Girl Scouts of Texas Oklahoma Plains during a celebration  event in Lubbock April 19.  She is being recognized for her long-time dedication to scouting.
