Troop 1967's Silver Award
Over the past year, Troop 1967, learned the essence of what it truly means to be a Girl Scout. Not that they didn’t know it in their younger Girl Scout years. They now belong to a sisterhood of forever friends. They have together, developed the courage to try new things, test their limits, and work toward goals as a team. The troop is driven to explore their community, help others, and solve problems. What started as a Silver Award Project to help the church, that has been so kind to them, has expanded into something no one could have imagined and has brought them together as Girl Scout Sisters forever.
As these determined Girl Scouts continue to identify those buried we will keep you updated on this incredible work.
An Honor to Help
One action. One life-saving action by our leaders is something we will never forget. One of our troops made the trek to Savannah—the birthplace of our founder Juliette Gordon Low. On their last day there, someone needed them: a little girl who might not be here today otherwise.
