Only registration period will be held this month.
The Woburn Girl Scouts organization will hold only one registration period for 2012. Kerri Walsh, the Woburn Girl Scouts registrar, said that many eastern Massachusetts communities already moved to the one registration per year method, but the city was still holding spring and fall registrations.

Walsh said she hopes that by holding one registration in May, it will give the organization more time to recruit adult volunteers. "We are in need for leaders—aunts, moms, …
