Sugar Land Girl Scouts Show Caring During the Holiday Season

In an effort to bring some of the comforts of home to our military men and women serving in the War on Terrorism, Girl Scout Troop 28104 in Sugar Land, Tx made care packages for soldiers in Afghanistan during their holiday party.To brighten up their holiday tables during this season, Girl Scout Troops 721, 724 and 277 made holiday placemats from old holiday cards for the senior citizens at Silverado Senior Center.To create a large assortment of unbreakable ornaments for the tree at the Club in New Territory, Brownie Troop 28083 reused materials destined for the landfill (tissue paper and plastic bottle lids). Like Sugar Land resident Megan Whitworth, some of the girls from Troop 721 worked at Gifts of Love, sponsored by Second Mile Mission and Parkway United Methodist Church.Megan was able to use her newly acquired Spanish to help the kids shop for a present for their parents during this experience.To help the fireman who had to work on Christmas Day celebrate the holidays, girls from Troop 721 and 724 made two large platters of holiday goodies and dropped them off at Fire Station #1. To go along with the trays, they even dropped off some Girl Scout cookies. Be sure to be on the look out for Girl Scout cookies as they are scheduled to be on sale soon. Parkway United Methodist Church is located in Sugar Land, near wonderful neighborhoods such as Greatwood and Lake Pointe.Source: sugarlandmagazine.com
