The Girl Scouts of America celebrated their 38th birthday on March 15. This year’s nationwide program is called: Schoolmates Overseas. The idea is to fill a schoolbag for a friend. Girl Scouts are doing their part to build international friendships by sending school supplies to needy children in foreign lands. Both troops in Browerville will join in the program by collecting supplies from their schoolmates and friends to help make this program a great success.
