The Monmouth Council of Girl Scouts urges area residents to “pay forward” any good fortune they have.

In an effort to help residents become more involved in their community and its needs, the council will sponsor Pay It Forward Day on Nov. 20 at its new program activity center on Yellowbrick Road in Farmingdale, according to Kelly McAllister, membership development director of the Monmouth Council of Girl Scouts.

“The goal of Pay It Forward Day,” McAllister said, “is to encourage the girls and the community to become more involved by exposing them to a wide variety of volunteer opportunities that reflect diverse interests and personalities.”

According to McAllister, the Girl Scouts is a national organization dedicated to building courageous, caring and compassionate citizens."
