At the unveiling of its exhibit Growing up in Girl Scouts at the Connecticut Historical Society on June 20, Girl Scouts of Connecticut announced that the Girl Scout historical museum at its North Haven Service Center will be named after Cheryl and Stephen McGuff, two longtime friends of Girl Scouting and former residents of Avon.

The museum, now named Girl Scouts of Connecticut: McGuff Museum of Girl Scout History, commemorates the generous gift Cheryl and Stephen donated in 2011 in collaboration with the Girl Scouts of Connecticut Historical Committee to make the museum a reality. The Girl Scouts of Connecticut museum consists of displays of Girl Scout memorabilia from around Connecticut from 1912 until today, a try-on area where girls can dress up in different Girl Scout uniforms from past eras, a scavenger hunt, and more.
