Wounded Warriors Family Support challenges Girl Scout Councils, Troops, and Individual scouts to thank our nation's veterans through our Veteran Baskets program. The Girl Scouts of West Central Florida took this challenge and ran with it. They engaged many of their troops and also individual girls to deliver over 80 Veteran Baskets to veterans in their local VA and also to other locations in their area. A very impressive effort and we are very thankful for their support of the veterans in their area! Thank you!!!
I have been a Troop Leader for almost six years and a Unit Consultant for almost three years. Our mission statement is: Girl Scouting builds girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place. I can tell you from personal experience that this is absolutely true! I have seen girls change and grow in ways that would not be possible without Girl Scouts. These girls will become the successful movers and shakers of our future! They are learning important values and useful tools such as caring for and connecting with their community, working with charities, appreciating cultural diversity, earning and managing money, caring for their environment, and realizing their strengths and abilities individually and as a group. It is an amazing and beautiful journey I am fortunate enough to share with them as a volunteer.
