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

information.
Making a difference for birds in Milton, VT
Girl Scout Junior Troop 30393 in Milton, VT, has been working this
year on a plan to build birdhouses to install in their town forest.
They have talked to the Audubon and have taken birdwatching hikes in
Chittenden County, and visited VINS down in Quechee. They visited the
new nature walk and spoke to aviary experts who provided different
birdhouse plans and showed the girls the key parts of the birdhouse
and why they're important.
A detective from Burlington
Police Department met with the troop so the girls could learn how to
do internet searches safely. After that, each girl researched several
birds that were threatened or declining in Vermont. They decided which
birds to build homes for and where they needed to put the
birdhouses.
The girls then visited the town office and
met with the town manager, and talked to him about next steps. On
January 21 they presented their plan to the Selectboard and were
approved. Pictured are some of the troop (not all could make it) with
the Selectboard members after the presentation.
Scarves in the park
Daisy Girl Scout Troop 10920 and Junior Troop 12263 from Manchester, NH, left scarves, hats, gloves and hand warmers that they collected from family and friends and left them at Veterans Park on Elm Street on Jan. 22. This is an annual project for these Girl Scouts. Afterwards, they walked over to Portland Pie company and warmed up with some hot cocoa.
