Girl Scouts around our council are always active – camping,
traveling, doing service projects, and making the world a better
place. Girl Scouts of the Green and White Mountains invites all Girl
Scouts in our council to share photos of their adventures,
achievements, projects, and more. Send your photos to us at customercare@girlscoutsgwm.org.
Be sure to include a description of the event, your troop number and
levels involved, when it took place, and any other relevant
information.
Giving and receiving at the Bedford Fire Department
Troop 60533 of Bedford, NH, dedicated a portion of their troop
meeting on December 18 to put together holiday bags to thank Bedford’s
firefighters and first responders. Troop leader Alisa Otterson along
with troop members Destinee Thibedeau and Alyvia Valenzia and their
mothers delivered 48 bags containing a package of hot cocoa,
marshmallows, a candy cane, and some chocolate to Lieutenant Bateman
and the on-duty firefighters and first responders.
The
girls in the troop learned that these important people in our
community work 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and 365 days a year. The
lieutenant said he would be working Christmas Day and that Santa makes
special arrangements for the children of people who serve our
community. It was a great lesson for all the girls in the troop to
learn that the holiday season isn’t all about parties and fun but also
to recognize and show appreciation to the people in our community who
serve us day in and day out.
Their visit to the fire
station to deliver the holiday gift bags was well received, but the
crew turned it around and made it a fun day for the two girls and the
adults who went to deliver the bags. They got to ride in the fire
truck with lights and sirens going, and also the ambulance. A
paramedic explained everything inside the back of the ambulance, which
made it a lot less scary. It turned out to be an amazing visit and one
they hope to make again when they work on their First Aid badge.
