Gravesend
The students in Girl Scout Troops 2717 and 2206 had a very busy October. Troop Leader Maura O’Sullivan shared what the scouting members volunteered for and how they lived up to the scouting oath of honor.
The girls marched with members of the District 21 Community Education Council in the annual Columbus Day Parade, volunteered at the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk in Prospect Park by giving out water bottles to the walkers and runners, and made handmade pins and bookmarks for breast cancer patients at NYU Lutheran’s Department of Radiation Oncology.
Where they found the time, Standing O is astounded, but along with their studies and volunteering they even helped to collect nearly 50 coats for the Knights of Columbus 4661 Samuel Cardinal Stritch Post’s annual coat drive. The initiative helps to keep community families warm and cozy during the frigid winter.
Standing O is all fuzzy and warm over the whole shebang.
