Troops 2529 and 2703 will put on a historic Girl Scout uniform fashion show at the Sun Prairie Historical Library and Museum from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

The free event is being held during the Girl Scout centennial anniversary, said a press release.  The program was founded in 1912.  Today, there are three million Girl Scouts around the world.

The Sun Prairie Girl Scouts will also collect "memories" at the event, asking former Scouts to attend and write down their favorite memories from their own troop days.  The memories will be archived and donated to the museum.
