Girl Scout troop in Colchester is learning new skills and making friends
COLCHESTER, VT – Girl Scout Troop 62615 has been very busy since forming last fall, learning life skills that will serve them well as they grow up. The troop includes nine Daisies in first grade.
Troop Leader Jennifer Gruda said they’ve had several troop meetings so far, and have already earned a petal, the equivalent of a badge at this level, their Promise Center badge, and their My First Cookie Business badge. Now they are busy earning the Cookie Goal Getter badge. They’ve made the most of outdoor activities in the winter, are looking forward to sledding soon, and have also earned their Snow Adventure badge.
“Once the days get longer and spring hits, we hope to do a lot more dynamic activities, earning a lot of the nature badges hiking and exploring the community,” she said. “We are even thinking playground fun in the spring to tie in some of the petals – being fair and honest, and being a sister to every girl. A lot of the girls are interested in cats, so perhaps a trip to an animal rescue would be of interest.”
Gruda added that they would be happy to welcome more members to their troop.

We Are Girl Scouts
Girl Scouts bring their dreams to life and work together to build a better world. Through programs from coast to coast, Girl Scouts of all backgrounds and abilities can be unapologetically themselves as they discover their strengths and rise to meet new challenges—whether they want to climb to the top of a tree or the top of their class, lace up their boots for a hike or advocate for climate justice, or make their first best friends. Backed by trusted adult volunteers, mentors, and millions of alums, Girl Scouts lead the way as they find their voices and make changes that affect the issues most important to them. To join us, volunteer, reconnect, or donate, visit girlscouts.org.
Girl Scouts of the Green and White Mountains serves girls throughout New Hampshire and Vermont through volunteer-run troops, events, and virtual programs. Visit www.girlscoutsgwm.org to learn more.
