A group of 42 Fairfield Girl Scouts got a behind-the-scenes look at local government on Wednesday, visiting various town departments and offices.

The girls explored the First Selectman's Office, animal control, tax collector's office, police department, and fire department, learning about different careers and civic roles.

This annual event has been a long-standing tradition for Fairfield Girl Scouts, offering valuable insights into community service and leadership. The program aims to empower young girls with knowledge and skills to make a positive impact in their community.
