Spotlight on Girl Scout Daisies & Brownies!
Troop 1678 - Overland Park

Daisies Doing Good! Shout out to Daisy GS Troop 1678 who used Cookie Program proceeds to buy all the supplies. Then, they worked together to make 200 sandwiches for those individuals who are experiencing homelessness. They also bundled up last weekend in the snow to pass out the much appreciated meals. You go, Girl Scouts!!
Troop 3277 - Lawrence, KS

Keeping Others Warm This Winter! Girl Scout Troop 3452 decided to donate to their local schools for the holidays instead of doing a gift exchange between the girls. These wonderful Girl Scouts wanted to give back and provide some warmth those those children who don't have the warm items necessary. Overall, they collected 20 hats, 15 pairs of socks and more than 30 pairs of gloves. WOW! Way to go, Troop 3452!!
