Junior Girls a learning experience for youth

Last updated Thursday, May 3, 2012 - 1:57pm

OGDEN -- Connie Edmuson's husband is a Vietnam veteran and she has been a member of the Women's Auxiliary for the Veteran's of Foreign War Post in Ogden for several years.

She heard that her group could sponsor a Junior Girls chapter and wanted for her granddaughters to have the chance to learn a bit more about veterans because of their family history, and her granddaughters also often asked questions.

So she and some other members got busy and started a chapter last year.

Now every month about 10 young girls get together to provide a little service for the VFW and learn more about the country, community and personal improvement. In mid April, the girls learned about emergency preparedness and in May they will be putting together ladies' hygiene kits.
