 Recently,
Girl Scout Troop 40294 of West Chester Woodland Mounds Service Unit,
organized a grocery bingo for low income senior housing residents in
Mason. The girls brought in bags of groceries which were given to
the winner of each game. Troop 40294 put in the bags, items
such of noodles, tuna, cream of mushroom soup, pears, corn etc. to
make a meal for them. The seniors enjoyed playing the bingo as well
winning some of the groceries to take home.
Troop members called bingo for an hour and then joined Troop 43683
also of Woodland Mounds in some Christmas caroling to top off the
night!!! Everyone had a great time!!! |
 Creekwood
Service Unit's 2008 World Thinking Day Celebration was full of fun,
food, games, and Girl Scout traditions from around the world. Troops
raised over $100 for the Juliette Low World Friendship Fund and
collected four bags of canned and non-perishable goods for the
Vineyard Community Church food pantry. Pictured is troop 49400,
ready for the opening flag ceremony. Many thanks to all of the
dedicated leaders and girls who worked hard to prepare and braved
the weather for a very successful event! |
 Senior
Girl Scout, Jazmone Kelly recently accepted a four year scholarship
to play basketball at Xavier University of Louisiana (XULA).
Jazmone is a member of Girl Scout troop 6788, a Girl Scout Gold
Award candidate, and President of Mayor of Cincinnati’s Youth
Council. She was congratulated by family and friends at a signing
ceremony held on November 14, 2007 at Ursuline Academy in Blue Ash.
Jazmone chose UXLA because of its Pre-Med program, high graduation
rate, and the success of its Women’s Basketball program. She plans
to major in pre-medicine and minor in African-American studies.
Jazmone is a disciplined, multi-talented athlete who has been
playing sports since the age of four. In her formative years she
played basketball for Mt. Auburn, North Avondale, and Friars Club
Community Center. At age ten she started her Amateur Athletic Union
career. She currently plays for Cincinnati’s Mid-West Express team.
As a Girl Scout, Jazmone traveled with her troop to Hagley Gap,
Jamaica in August 2007 to teach rural children and conduct a
mini-basketball camp. Jazmone says, “the trip broadened my
understanding of how important a higher education is and the need
for more doctors in this part of the world. It also intensified my
resolve to continue to excel and reach my goal of becoming a doctor
and owning a medical research company." Jazmone is also a 2006 Girl
Scouts Wider Opportunities Destination award recipient, traveling to
Ashville, North Carolina to mountain climb, repel, and lived
outdoors for a week.

 Brownie
and Junior Girl Scouts in the Creekwood Service Unit had two fun
filled days learning about aerospace at their campout. Topics
included: what makes
an airplane or kite fly, how to use a telescope and binoculars for
space exploration, how to build and fly a paper airplane, what makes
a rocket work, women in history that were pilots and women who
became astronauts. The girls also learned about career paths
available to them in aviation. Once again these Girl Scouts proved
that learning can be fun!

For Daisy Girl Scout Troop 1340 great things come in
small packages. The girls showed that they could contribute to our
community and make a difference. They learned about serving their
community as they worked to earn their Daisy petals. While learning
the skills of quilting, the girls made four beautiful blankets that
they donated to Project Linus. During the holidays they collected
and donated new and gently used toys for Valley Inter Faith Food and
Clothing Foundation. For Valentines’ Day, the girls decorated cards
that were distributed by Sycamore Senior Center Meals on Wheels
Program. These projects throughput the year built a firm foundation
of service which will continue in their future years of Girls
Scouting. Great things definitely can come in small packages, way
to go girls!

 Brownie
Girl Scout Troop 423 from St. Veronica School gave shelter by
helping to fulfill a wish list from the Clermont County Humane
Society. In addition to many items donated, the girls made
homemade dog and cat treats packaged in colorful bags with the
recipes attached.
When visiting the shelter troop members asked
that one of their special treat bags be given to everyone who
adopts a pet. After touring the shelter, the girls even got to
learn more about proper animal care from one of the shelter
representatives.
Way to go girls! Combining learning, service and
fun has made troop 423 a big hit in their community.
