  • Our troop voted to take a trip to the Mall - as most 5th grade girls would! We checked out the Libby Lu store - while it may be perfect for some troops - we found it to be pricey and a little too grown-up.

    A less expensive option was Younkers. It was FREE! We contacted the Younkers public relations coordinator at Rivertown Crossings, talked about what we wanted for the girls and booked a trip. The coordinator arranged for the girls to visit the Este Lauder cosmetic counter for a lesson on skin care and make up applications. Este Lauer even gave the girls a moisturizer and mascara!

    Then it was on to a "private" fitting room where the coordinator had already set aside trendy and traditional clothes in the girl's sizes. We talked about good fashion sense as it relates to the new trends in teen clothing - and then the girls were allowed to try the clothes on for themselves.
    The brand new coordinator at the time, Heather, was very friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend this outing to other troops. I know of two girls who went back with their parent to purchase some items they had tried on! So I know Younkers is happy to see you too!
