A big thank you to Brownie Girl Scouts Maddie and Jules of Troop 71056 for opening and closing our April Service Unit meeting. Maddie is in her 3rd year of Girl Scouts and enjoys horse back riding and going to the beach in addition to scouting. Jules is in her 2nd year of Girl Scouts and enjoys learning at school and reading books when she’s not participating in Scouts. Both girls also love art 🎨 🖌️ 🖼️🤩 Thank you, girls! You did a great job!

Another Morning Star World Thinking Day celebration is in the books! This year, girls were presented with challenges at each country booth visited to earn beads for bracelets. They also made items or food and exchanged SWAPS to represent their countries. So much knowledge was shared about our wonderful world of Girl Scouts and Girl Guides!

Last month, 30 of our Girl Scouts and scouting family members participated in Wreaths Across America at Pinewood Memorial Gardens in Cranberry Township, singing the National Anthem and placing wreaths on local veteran gravesites. Those placing wreaths were asked to say the veteran’s name aloud while laying the wreath down, which made each moment of the ceremony even more meaningful. The girls were joined by members of the Seneca Valley School District ROTC, local veterans, and other groups from the community. Morning Star Girl Scouts contributed 27 of the 200 wreaths placed at this site. The event was so inspiring that a campaign is already underway to have 500 wreaths placed next time, and our scouts plan to help with that in addition to placing flags at veteran graves for Memorial Day. Thank you to Jennifer Riethmiller for organizing this event, and as always, to those who serve and have served our country 🇺🇸

That’s a WRAP! 🎁 🎄 Morning Star Area Girl Scouts bundled up and donned their gayest SANTA’S WORKSHOP elf and present apparel to spread cheer along Main Street, Zelienople in the 2025 Miracle on Main Holiday Light Up Parade in Zelienople, PA last week. The girls waved and smiled to parade watchers young and old while handing out candy canes and handmade ornaments. The parade is an honored tradition in the town affectionately known as “Zelie”, and we are proud to be a part of this joyous event! Merry Christmas!

Girl Scout Brownies and Juniors of Troop 36000 decked the halls of their local community center for the season! Cranberry Township invites local organizations to set up and decorate a tree that represents their organization to grace the municipal center hallways each holiday season. The tree-lined hallways are unveiled at a community-wide, joy-filled event, “Santa’s First Stop”, that features carol-singing by a local church, holiday activities, and the highlight of the event, Santa himself arriving and lighting up the entire municipal center complex yard and the township Christmas tree! Troop 36000 made giant friendship bracelets to be tree garland on the tree (🎶 Make new friends, but keep the oooolllddd…🎶), with a nod to Taylor Swift’s latest album. Life of A Girl Scout! ✨

Troops 52840 and 28030 held a Thanksgiving food drive for a local food pantry, Inspired Hearts & Hands (“IH2”). They collected 55+ boxes and then packed the food at the IH2 facility with the help of Troop 46817. The director of IH2 said it was their largest food drive haul to date! Never underestimate Girl Scouts when it comes to charming the public and helping the community!! Awesome job, girls! 🌟🦃 🍽️
