Girl Scout Troops all over the country celebrated the birth of our founder Juliette Lowe on October 31, even here in Norcross!

Our troop each brought a "gift for our founder" from the dollar tree in place of their meeting dues. The gifts were something they thought our troop could benefit from! We got everything from bubbles to colored pencils to stickers and bandaids! Very fun. ​

When: November Service Unit Meeting, Tuesday, Nov. 14th

Set Up Time: 6:00 pm
 
Where: Mt. Carmel UMC – upstairs for the contest; downstairs for the service unit meeting

What: Every year our service unit holds a food drive for the Norcross Food Co-op. Part of the food drive is a fun competition between troops for the most creative presentation of the food they have collected for donation.   You can see past entries at http://bentleytech.com/tday-displays/
