The idea of Girl Scouts
brings thoughts of cookies,
camps, songs and memo-
ries to many people. Every
Spring, thousands of girls
across the country set out
to sell cookies in hopes of
going to a fun camp where
she can meet new friends
and learn new skills. How-
ever, Girl Scouts do not
just sell cookies anymore.
During product sales
(yes, there is more than
cookies!), prospective cus-
tomers can buy a box for a
charity or donate money
towards products. Last
Spring, local Troop 207
took this to heart. Though
each of the girls has a fa-
vorite charity, they decid-
ed to collect donations to
send cookies to people
serving in the military.
Thus, Treats for Troops
was born.
At each cookie sale,
girls would ask customers
to donate change or any
money to the Treats for
Troops jar, even if they did
not want to buy cookies.
By the end of cookie sea-
son, the girls had collect-
ed enough donations to
send over 140 boxes of Girl
Scout Cookies to those
serving in the US Military,
here and abroad. Using the
Family Readiness Pro-
gram and a local business,
the girls were able to get
free shipping to soldiers in
want of a bit of home!
The three girls, Kara
Borrman, Juliana Hueger-
ich and Megan Shultze, are
sophomores at Norwalk
High School. They hope to
continue Treats for Troops
this year and beat last
year's amount! With your
help, they can do it! The
girls are planning the 4th
Annual Craft and Vendor
Sale Saturday, Dec. 6, from
9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Feel free to
stop by and remember that
they will take donations
for Treats for Troops at any
time!
