Cadettes Have a Great Summer
The Girl Scouts enjoyed a great summer together. In July, they went kayaking in Fort Lauderdale. The kayak guides provided the troop with fresh fruit and other tropical snacks.
"During the month of July, Camp Old Navy was open to Senior and Ambassador girl scouts. This camp was held to inform how to work in a retail environment. We where taught how to fold inventory, replace inventory and use the register. At the end of the session, we where all offered to fill out applications. This was a great experience we were given to learn about retail jobs. Please feel free to contact our troop leader if you would like to join our troop. Karyl Bertram at zubaelbanewbee@aol.com," submitted by Emma Niemczyk (10th grade).
