Girl Scout Ambassador Troop 40684 enjoyed a trip to Orlando's Dolphin Cove earlier this summer. The troop is from Victor, Ontario County. Writes Girl Scout Sydney K., "Have you ever wondered if all your cookie selling will ever pay off? Troop 40684 found the answer when we traveled to Orlando this summer. . ." She goes on to say the troop has been earning funds and saving money since the 7th grade. "Although there are only six girls left in our troop as we enter our senior year, those remaining definitely made the right decision by staying. After all, if we had stopped doing Girl Scouts, then we never would have seen our efforts culminate in this amazing trip!"
