Troop 10442 believes that no children should go without
school supplies and shoes.

Troop 10442 Donates Backpacks filled with School Supplies

Troop 10442 knows that their girl power can go along way in making their community a better place. This summer, the troop from the Great Earth Service Unit, spent time filling 500 backpacks with school supplies to donate to In Jacobs Shoes. The girls have been helping them for four years now. Troop 10442 plans to return in August to help clean hundreds of gently used shoes for school children in the tri-county area.

More than Just a Day at the Beach for Troop 20011

Daisy Troop 20011 spent a day cleaning up the litter and debris they found along the beaches of Delray Beach. The girls were able to encourage and recruit 32 additional volunteers to join them in their efforts. An endorsement of the beach clean-up was given by the city of Delray Beach too.
