Homer High School’s Girl Scouts
Ana Shore
Although people generally think of Elementary School age when they think of Girl Scouts, there are some girls that are still participating in the program in High School. Erin Currie, Maddie Jennings, Ana Shore, Sophia Pizzola, Meghan McGrath, and Allia Shimer are Senior Girl Scouts of Homer Troop 37. Most of these girls have been members since kindergarten; while others have joined for the first time this year.
Every Tuesday from 6:30-7:30, the Senior Troop holds a meeting in the Homer Methodist Church. These meetings consist of discussions of ways to volunteer in the community and different outings to take with the money raised from selling cookies. So far this year, Girl Scouts have gone bell-ringing in the weeks leading up to Christmas and volunteered in the children’s area of Winterfest. Their annual cookie sale is also currently taking place. If you are interested in buying Girl Scout Cookies, see any of the aforementioned girls. Much more is to come for these Girl Scouts this year including marching in the annual Dairy Parade and other activities in the community.
