During our next troop meeting, we will be working on a service project. Each of our Girl Scout levels will be filling a separate shoebox (provided by the troop) to send to children less fortunate through Samaritans Purse International Relief.
The Daisy Girls will be filling a box for a GIRL,
age category 2-4 years old.
The Brownie Girls will be filling a box for a GIRL,
age category 5-9 years old.
The Junior Girls will be filling a box for a GIRL,
age category 10-14 years old.
If you are able, please consider donating an item or two from the list below that your Girl Scout can bring to the next troop meeting for “Operation Christmas Child”.
