Out & About with GSKSMO Teens!
GSKSMO Cadettes, Seniors & Ambassadors
do the coolest things!
Girl Scout Ambassador Troop 1592 from Liberty, MO spent a weekend at Camp Prairie Schooner where they enjoyed themselves while cooking, hiking and watching a movie. While at CPS these Girl Scouts made 15 blankets to donate to Project Linus!
Cadette Troop 1652 from Blue Springs, MO
wanted to help the homeless by making sure they did not go without some needed supplies
so they packed up meal bags and feminine care bags for the homeless. While passing out these supplies, Girl Scouts also provide FREE soup! Way to give back, Girl Scouts!
