Girl Scouts Cactus Pine - Indian Bend - Troop 1245

Hello, we are Girl Scout 7th Grade Cadettes from the Phoenix, AZ area. Our troop has 10 girls who have been together since 2nd grade, going on our 6th year. We earned our Girl Scouts Bronze Award in 5th grade and are currently working towards earning the Silver Award in 8th grade. Our theme is ‘kids helping kids” and some of the things we have done along our journey is pack snack bags for UMOM after-school programs, and read to kids while their parents were in parenting classes learning skills to use in the workplace or for parenting. We donated time packing meal boxes at Feed My Starving Children. Babysat for young children at a Refugee baby shower, for pregnant moms who needed help. Decorated pillowcases for Ryan House. Donated and ran in a kids for cancer 5k for a girl at our school who has cancer, etc. Learn about kids with disabilities so we know how to interact and understand each other. We talk about how to be a good friend to all kids. Have involved cub scouts in service projects with us for more impact.
