donated 46 boxes of Girl Scout Cookies to Delaware National
Guard
troops deployed overseas.
Brownie Girl Scout Troop 549, first and
third-graders at the Pike Creek Christian School in Newark, recently
donated 46 boxes of Girl Scout Cookies to send off to troops deployed
overseas. The girls raised money for their troop by doing extra chores
around their homes, said Kim Patrella and Julie Kramerdas, leaders from
Troop 549. Instead of using that money for themselves, they decided to
purchase boxes of Girl Scout Cookies and send them to soldiers and airmen
from the Delaware National Guard who are serving away from home. W.L. Gore
& Associates matched the girls’ donation and recently some of the
Brownies delivered the sweets to our State Headquarters for shipping. The
girls also sent homemade cards and letters to start a pen pal project with
those deployed.
