All throughout the region, Girl Scouts are reaching out to local military personnel, EMTs and paramedics, police officers and fire fighters to say thank you for all they do to protect our communities and country.

Here are some of their stories:

Girl Scouts from Troops 1120 and 11022 collected donations and put together baskets of cheer including fruit, nuts and healthy snacks. The girls then delivered the baskets to Baltimore City Fire Houses and the Baltimore City Southwest Police Station. The girls’ goal was to help build supportive relationships between the community youth and the first responders.

The Girl Scouts of Troop 841 wanted to give back to those who serve our country. They donated 39 cases of cookies to the men and women of the 781st Military Intelligence Battalion in Fort Meade, Maryland.

CPT Zastoupil, Commander of Charlie Company, 781st Military Intelligence Battalion,
CSM Reynolds, Command Sergeant Major of 781st Military Intelligence Battalion,
and SSG Scutt presented the troop with a Certificate of Thanks on behalf of the Department of the Army, and took some extra time out of their day to talk with the girls.

Girl Scout Daisy Troop 418 recently visited the heroes of Station 9 in Howard County to say thanks and deliver a poster that was created and signed by all of the girls in the troop.

Baltimore City Top Cookie Seller Evelyn B. paused to say thanks and take a picture with two of the city’s hard working Police officers on her way to the Top Cookie Seller luncheon cruise with Girl Scouts of Central Maryland CEO Violet Apple. After the cruise she recruited Violet to join her in saying thanks and taking a picture!
