Girl Scouts of WNY will “Rock Out” in celebration of our 100th Anniversary at one of the world’s greatest wonders! The first ever Rock the Falls will take place on Saturday, June 23, 2012 from 10 a.m.-12 p.m. at Niagara Falls State Park, USA.

"I think the most enduring lesson I was taught through my experiences of being a Girl Scout was that I was a member of a larger community. I out-grew my uniforms and badges years ago, but the memories of visiting nursing homes or organizing Earth Day tree plantings or my summers camping with girls from all different backgrounds will stay with me always." - Natalie Merchant - Musician & Girl Scout Alumna
