State Rep. Theresa Conroy, D-Seymour, was named a member of State Capitol Honorary Girl Scout Troop during Girl Scout Day. 

Conroy was also honored to meet with members of Seymour’s Troop 40 at a ceremony Wednesday in the Legislative Office Building.

Girl Scout Day at the State Capitol is an advocacy day where legislators meet with local Girl Scouts about issues important to girls and young women across the state.

“Girl Scouts of America is an outstanding organization. It is uplifting to have these young women at the Capitol, engaging with us about the issues they hold dear,” Conroy said.

Seymour Troop 40 members Kyra Bernor, Emma Romaniello, and Kayla Ndoi met with Conroy in her office. The girls toured the Capitol and visited both the House and Senate chambers.

“As a former Girl Scout from Seymour, it was very exciting to have members of Troop 40 visiting Hartford,” Conroy said.

The day included a pinning ceremony to recognize members of the State Capitol Honorary Girl Scout Troop, a group of bipartisan legislators. 

Girl Scout Day at the Capitol gives Girl Scouts throughout Connecticut a chance to meet one-on-one with legislators to learn more about the democratic process, and to highlight the important initiatives that 47,300 Girl Scouts and more than 19,000 Girl Scout volunteers find critical in every community across the state.
