On April 26, 2026, Scouting America Troop 1775 for girls participated in the America250 History Fair at Carroll Creek Linear Park in Frederick, MD. Hundreds attended the event, which brought together historical organizations, community groups, and families from across the region to celebrate the nation’s history ahead of the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.
Troop 1775 helped support several activities throughout the day. Scouts participated in the event’s flag ceremony and welcomed visitors to learn more about Scouting programs and opportunities for youth to get involved. Scouts also assisted children with a hands-on activity making rolled beeswax candles, giving families a chance to experience a traditional craft connected to early American life.
“It was a wonderful opportunity to give back to the community and show youth how early Americans lived,” said Scoutmaster Talisha Kellogg.
The fair featured exhibits and educational activities focused on American history and the role local communities have played in shaping the country. Organizers described America250 as an opportunity to reflect on the nation’s past while inspiring future generations to stay engaged in their communities.
Troop 1775 was honored to be part of the celebration and to support an event that encouraged learning, citizenship, service, and community involvement.
