Reply #10: I used to be a girlscout troop leader, my daughter was in my troop [View All]

we had many very neat little girls and they decided as a whole that the money they earned through selling cookies and other things would be used for charity and thats exactly what we did, we donated all of their earnings to a children's shelter that they selected, well at the end of the year at the big ceremony that we went to all the other troops got up and announced what they did and what they were going to do with their money--"We're going to six flags", "We're going going to have a party at the skating rink" and when it was time for my girls to stand they said "We donated our money to W.E.A.V.E." That got a standing ovation from every adult in the room and i was truly proud of all of them, they gave their time and their reward to people in need and it was their own idea. I had organized a clothing drive for WEAVE in the fall and they felt so good about helping they wanted to continue the tradition.

Troop1354, best troop ever.
