In February, three Girl Scout troops in Plymouth worked together to make pet beds for the Sheboygan Humane Society. They had planned to deliver them in March, but due to COVID-19 their delivery date was delayed until it was safe to do so. Great job Girl Scouts! We seeing a community of Girl Scouts come together to give back. We can't wait to see what you do next!

Since their first year as Girl Scouts, Brownie Troop 8210 donated Girl Scout Cookies to the Port Washington Vets Fishing Outing. Due to the COVID-19, this event was canceled and these young Girl Scouts had a new idea on how to donate their cookies. When it was safe to do so, they donated cookies to a local hospital for nurses, doctors and staff to enjoy while working on the front line of the pandemic. Thank you for giving back Girl Scouts!

Get ready to change the world! Now Girl Scouts can earn 24 new badges that take leadership to the next level. There’s never been a better time for girls to practice ambitious leadership. This year, we’ve added new badges in the categories of Entrepreneur, STEM Career Exploration, Automotive Engineering, and Civics.

Join us in congratulating Troop 8199 on earning their Bronze Award! They researched the use of single use water bottles and the harmful effects on the Earth and our bodies. They raised funds and purchased reusable water bottles for all incoming Kindergarteners at their school and educated them on the importance of using reusable water bottles. As a reminder about protecting the Earth, they also designed labels and stickers to be placed on every water bottle. They continued educating their school by hosting two educational games at their Winter Carnival. They had planned to make educational posters to hang around the school for Earth Week, but since schools were closed due to COVID, they made a video to share with their school instead. 

In the mega issue of The Manitou GIRL, Girl Scouts will learn all about Girl Scouts activities to do at home, how to help their sister Girl Scouts, summer camp, get advice, read inspiring stories, have fun with STEM projects, arts & crafts activities, games, recipes and more fun.
