Meet Our Girl Scouts: Lia R.

Daisy Girl Scout, Lia R.

The Girl Scout of the Week is Lia!  She is a Daisy and a first grader at Harlem Success Academy.  She enjoys math, science, technology and karate!  But, what she really loves to do is sing.

Lia was chosen to be the Girl Scout of the Week because of her philanthropic spirit!  She knows what it means to make a donate your time, talents and treasures for the common good.  She donated more than eight inches of her hair to Locks of Love; an organization that creates wigs for cancer patients.  "When I got my hair cut, I cried", says Lia about her experience, "but, after that, I felt good".   Lia's Mom was inspired to give to the organzation after her family lost a good friend to cancer.

We appreciate your young spirit of giving, Lia!  Troop #3027 is proud of you!

This Week's Theme: What Do Girl Scouts Do?

At this week's meeting, the girls of Troop #3027 learned what "Girl Scouting" is all about!  "We do a lot of things", announced Troop Coordinator, Miss Jodi, "and we always have a lot of fun".  The girls learned the Girl Scout Law and how it relates to their life.  Each girl got a chance to introduce themselves, tell what grade they are in, and describe what they like to do.  "I like to play in the park", said Shanier, a new Daisy,"and I want to take trips".

During Group Work Time, each girl met with other girls in their level.  The Daisies worked with Miss Donna and drew pictures about what they want to do, this year, with the Girl Scouts.  Brownies worked with Miss Stacey and wrote a paragraph about what trips they would like to take.  Miss Jodi worked with the Juniors/Cadettes as they discussed how fundraising, trips, volunteering, arts & crafts, and lessons can make the world a better place.  "Trips give us the experience to learn new things", said Taysia, a new Junior Girl Scout, "this way we will know more for the future and make the world a better place".

Great work, girls!  Next week we'll be partnering with Dove and the Movement for Self-Esteem.
