GSHPA Mission Moments: Proud Moments in Girl Scouting

Girl Scout Troop 20455 of York County received the Spirit of Youth Award from Central Families That Care. The Spirit of Youth Award recognizes York County youth who have made valuable contributions to their community. Each member of Troop 20455 completed 80 - 100 hours of community service in 2018. We couldn't be more proud!

To complete their Welcome to the Daisy Flower Garden Journey, the Daisies of Troop 10581 made Fairy Gardens. Each girl planted two flowers, painted a wood house and butterfly, and decorated it with gems. The troop discussed planting and taking care of flowers. A month later, Vanessa's Fairy Garden is still growing and she checks it every day!

Girl Scouts Erin and Allyson took on the Northville-Placid Trail in the Adirondacks as part of a progressive backpacking series provided by GSHPA volunteers. The girls hiked approximately eight miles per day, slept in rustic shelters or tents, planned their meals, and carried their own equiptment. We're so proud of Erin and Allyson's accomplishment, and grateful to the dedicated volunteers who guided them along the way!
