Be Seen in Your Community
Girl Scout troop 945 collected donations for the Hawkins County Humane Society in the month of January. The girls have been working on their Pets Badge. The girls also had an opportunity to interact with and pet the cats that were looking for a home.

Share your stories and photos with us at
socialmedia@girlscoutcsa.org. Please include a brief description (including date/location) of the event and/or project depicted, as well as the troop number(s).
 
Beyond a Brick
Beyond a Brick's LEGO®-based solutions are designed to stimulate children's creativity, problem-solving, and team-work skills. Girls can explore problems and invent their own solutions, behave as young scientists and technical investigators, all while making their own discoveries.
