Closter Cadette Girl Scout Troop 97190

01/04/2024

We are so proud of our sister Girl Scouts! Wonderful job!!!

Shout out to GSNNJ Girl Scout Junior Troop 97788 of Closter. These Girl Scouts were featured in Bergen County's The Neighbors magazine for spreading kindness through their many creative community service projects. Most recently, the girls partnered with the non-profit organization Bears from Bergenfield, which ships new and gently used stuffed animals across the world to children who have been victims of war and terror. Last year, the girls sent bears to children in the Ukraine, and this year their stuffed animals were flown to Israel to be distributed to displaced families and used for pediatric mental health services.
