So lots to talk about.<br /><br />This year's thinking day theme is actually "ending world poverty and hunger" - which we did discuss at our meeting, and which we'll continue to talk about at coming meetings.<br /><br />This service project - sending the cookies overseas to our soldiers - is one we do every year during cookie sales time, from Dec-March. We talked about the soldiers overseas who'll be receiving these cookies... It's easy to forget that there are people at war and in harm's way. My scout troop remembers soldiers at Veterans' Day and Memorial Day ceremonies, but the girls need to know there are soldiers out there right now, fighting. Hoping to come home to their families.Katie O'Sullivanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17295418503546522882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6831433709810155834.post-69654862349202421132010-02-27T20:22:34.297-05:002010-02-27T20:22:34.297-05:00What is 'Thinking Day" ??What is 'Thinking Day" ??Melissa P.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6831433709810155834.post-80718526482446182472010-02-27T20:21:08.318-05:002010-02-27T20:21:08.318-05:00Girl Scouts rock!Girl Scouts rock!Sharonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6831433709810155834.post-62298538152655255792010-02-27T20:18:46.298-05:002010-02-27T20:18:46.298-05:00Amen.
