In commemoration of the 25th Anniversary, the Girl Scout troop from St. Stanislaus will be recognized at Memorial Square on 69th Street and Grand Avenue immediately after the Memorial Day Parade on Sunday, May 24. Back in 1984, the same Girl Scout troop wrote letters to the Queens Ledger asking to bring back the Memorial Day Parade in Maspeth. This outcry resulted in the reemergence of the Parade. The troop is led by Linda Cotov and Wiceida Feliciano, and troop members include Marissa Cofane, Kim Cotov, Kristina DeSena, Sarah Feliciano, Natalie Frankowski, Taylor Groll, Maragret Leisenheimer, Rebekah Lopatto, Ashling McGlone, Cassandra Rodriguez, Jennifer Silberberger, Nicole Talamo, and Amanda Vopat
