Girl Scout Mission Moments: Community Outreach

Girl Scouts from Troops 80338 & 80166 in Fulton recently donated Care Bags to the residents of the long-term care unit at the Fulton County Medical Center. The girls worked as a team gathering much-needed personal care items from the community. They had a great day visiting the residents and delivering their care packages. These Girl Scouts sure did put a smile on the residents' faces!

Brownie Troop 40083 in Centre County wanted to give back this past cookie season by making Jared Boxes—a plastic storage box filled with small gifts, toys, games, and fun activities for children in hospitals nationwide. The girls used some of their cookie sale proceeds to assemble 36 boxes. Wonderful work to help brighten other children's day, G.I.R.Ls!

Daisy Troop 70520 from Paradise, Pa, recently donated personal care items to The Factory Ministries' food bank. They collected items from family and friends and also used a portion of their Girl Scout cookie money to purchase items to donate. After delivering their donations, they toured the food bank and learned how it helps the local community. Way to help others in need, Girl Scouts!
