No Girl Left Inside is getting girls connected with the outdoors, but there’s more…

We bring together girls from all over Southern Arizona to discover, connect and take action. Girls explore their passions, develop new skills, make new friends and expand horizons. Girls succeed. Girls fully participate and contribute to our society. We help build the inner foundation that makes girls whole. We are leaders. Find out how you can experience the movement by visiting http://girlscoutssouthernarizona.org.

Soldiers spruce, Girl Scouts plant, Shelter gets new look

Soldiers from Class 10-005 of Fort Huachuca’s Noncommissioned Officer Academy and Girl Scout Troop 662 worked on two projects Aug. 7 to improve the Good Neighbor Alliance, a homeless shelter off 7th Street in Sierra Vista. The military volunteers from the NCOA painted the shelter’s main room, used for dining and recreation. They also created a barbecue area by putting down blocks and gravel, and performed needed yard maintenance. The older girls in Troop 662 planted a garden. Rebecca Wallace, a freshman at Buena High School, decided to spearhead a vegetable garden for the shelter as a community service project for her Silver Award. Susan Glandon, project advisor, says they chose the Good Neighbor Alliance for the garden since the scouts cook and serve dinner there once a month as a community service project. If the garden is viable, there will be fresh produce for the shelter, and extra produce could be canned for later use. Glandon hopes shelter residents and those connected with the shelter will enjoy having fresh produce and will take on the project as a longterm sustainable endeavor.

How do YOU give a Hoot?

Have you been by to see our tree in the Council Resource Center yet? We’ve put together a recycled tree on the wall that everyone can add to! I encourage you all to stop by, write out how you “give a hoot” on one of our leaves and then add it to the tree! As more and more people make green pledges, the tree is a symbol for our council (and our community) getting greener and greener and greener! Come check it out!
