Although the Girl Scout Christmas Giving Challenge 2021 has ended, the donations provided to Raleigh County organizations will last for a while.
Girl Scout Troop #32608 accepted the challenge on Wednesday, December 22, and donated shoes to the United Way’s Equal Footing Campaign. The troop chose this organization because they believe in the United Way and the Equal Footing Campaign really struck a chord with the girls. They don’t like the thought of kids not having appropriate shoes.
One line in the Girl Scout Promise is “to make the world a better place.” Girl Scouts of Raleigh County did this one troop at a time this Christmas season. Troop #32608 was the last troop to give in this year’s Christmas Giving Challenge.
There are a total of 4 troops participating from the Girl Scouts of Raleigh County Service Unit. Each troop was challenged with giving (Make the world a better place). It was their choice what organization to give to and what to give. Along with their donation each troop gave a gift to the troop they challenged. (Be a sister to every Girl Scout.)
The other 3 troops that participated in the Christmas Giving Challenge were:
– Troop #10255, which donated gifts to the Salvation Army’s Christmas Angel program;
– Troop #10424, which donated pet supplies to the Raleigh County Humane Society;
– Troop #32547, which donated books, candy, snacks, water, and toboggans to the Carl Larson Cancer Center.
