The Hall County courthouse was the scene of some major girl power Friday when Girl Scouts toured the building and took part in exercises to earn their citizenship badges. Organized by Girl Scout leader and Probate Court Judge Patty Walters Laine, the event was not just a way to earn a badge but to encourage the girls to become engaged in community affairs. “I wanted to let every kid in Hall County see what the courthouse is, and to see what women are doing in our courthouse,” Laine said.
