Girl Scout Troop 189 of Fairfax volunteered on Inauguration Day in Washington, D.C., on Monday, Jan. 21. "They were still smiling at the end of a long day that started at 4 a.m.!" wrote Mariana Vervena in an email to the Connection.

The girls attend Robinson Secondary School and were among the 1,500 Boy and Girl Scouts who volunteered that day from all over the Capitol Region.
