Girl Scout Brownie Troop 8547 earned their "Animals" badge recently by learning how to take good care of pets. The girls also gathered lots of old towels, blankets, grooming supplies and toys to take to the City of Mobile Animal Shelter as a service project.
At the animal shelter, Mrs. Jackie talked to the girls about what the animal shelter does, the importance of spaying and neutering, and the importance of taking care of pets. She also gave the girls cat and dog training CD's, stickers and shelter information.

There are many veterans who are hospitalized, and they are of all
ages. Some do not have families, and getting a card from you or your troop would mean so much! Cards for any holiday are welcome. The link
below provides guidelines and dates.
This is something you can easily do at a meeting or at home and will provide comfort, support and appreciation for the men and women who have served our country. Here's the link:

Troop 9010 visited J.T. and Leanne at MIX 103 on Monday, January 19. The girls learned about the radio station and even got to talk on the air! In fact, they got to mention the cookie sale and our new cookie, the Dulche de Leche. They also learned that J.T. and Leanne play the music on the radio through the computer just like it is a big iPod. J.T. and Leanne told the girls they have a great job because they get to have special guests, like Taylor Swift, visit with them and because they get to do special events for worthy charities in the area, like the humane society and Children's Hopsital. J.T. told the girls that to prepare for a career in radio they should consider studying broadcast journalism in college. The girls enjoyed their visit and even got a CD recording of their radio broadcast premiere!
Do you have a
special dance or presentation you developed for Thinking Day? We are looking

Meeting! The meeting will be Saturday, April 4, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in
Montgomery.
If you are
interested in auditioning, please send us an audition video, or let us know when
your Thinking Day is and we'll try to visit in person. Because of time
limitations only five to eight troops will be selected to perform. Performances
should range from 2-3 minutes in length and can include a song, dance, poem,
short story, play, etc. For more information, please contact Cheryl Miller

Hi everyone! Service Unit 807 from North Mobile county held its annual Camporee this past weekend at Scoutshire Woods. My troop planned and organized the whole event. It was awesome! Our theme was "Wild West Weekend." We opened Friday night with a barn dance where we learned square dancing and line dancing. Saturday we enjoyed canoeing, archery, and horseback riding. We also had a "Lost Gold Mine" treasure hunt, and a terrific barbeque dinner!
Since all the girls in my troop will graduate from high school this year, this was our last camporee, so we wanted to make it a good one. It was a lot of work, but seeing all the little (and big) smiling faces made it all worthwhile. Over 120 girls and adults attended, and everyone agreed it was the best camporee ever!
Here are the girls from Junior Troop 8309 enjoying Camporee!

Troop 9349 from Enterprise, Alabama spent months making quilts to present to Ft. Ruckers soldiers who have served overseas as part of their Bronze/Silver Award Projects. Working with a local quilt shop, they learned sewing and quilting skills, had lots of fun, and took pride in creating a project from planning to completion. They were part of a special ceremony to present quilts to the soldiers -- one of whom was the father of one of the quilting Girl Scouts!
They were even featured on local television. Here is the link to the broadcast. Check it out!
It isn't easy being bald, especially for a woman with breast cancer. A Southern Alabama troop wants to help out!
Troop 9469 is collecting new baseball caps for breast cancer patients as part of October Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Drop them off at the Girl Scout Council in both Montgomery and Mobile during the month of October.
Thank you for your help!
