Flag for Memories
Power in Papillion Pink
The Papillion Police Department enjoyed hanging out with future women leaders when six Girl Scout troops visited the station. Girls from Daisies to Seniors learned about law enforcement and supported the department’s Pink Patch Project, which raises money to fight cancer. Fabulous fun patches that bling up a uniform and take a stand? Perfect in pink!
Meet an ambitious group of Grand Island girls: Brownie Troop 00044. These community champions recently volunteered at the local Heartland Food Bank. They were delighted to discover how amazing it is to give back and are eagerly exploring more ways to make the world a better place!
Rain, Rain, Down the Drain
Troop 20811 entered a drawing in the UpStream Art Project for a chance to paint one of 10 designated storm drains in Lincoln. Not only was their entry selected, but the Lincoln Children’s Museum requested that their drawing be used for its storm drain. Next up for these go-getters, using their powerful Take Action project to teach younger girls the importance of caring for the planet.

Happy Heartland Helpers
Leave it to Girl Scouts to step up and inspire others. Girl Scouts from Service Unit 11 led the opening flag ceremony for the Fremont Area Alzheimer’s Memory Walk that raises awareness of the disease and funds for research. Supporting families and people with Alzheimer’s gave the generous group of girls great pride!
Girl Scouts Never Forget
Four years ago, St. Patrick’s Catholic School began a wonderful, patriotic tradition honoring families affected by September 11. Girl Scouts and Cub Scouts wear their uniforms and perform a flag ceremony before classes. This year, more than 100 Girl Scouts in kindergarten through eighth grade donned their uniforms to pay their respects. Living the Girl Scout Law has never been so touching.
