Girl Scouts in Stevens County are making a comeback! The 2015-2016 year has given Troop 60077 many new opportunities. They have gathered food for Project Hope, went caroling with the Santa Committee, and bought toys for St. Francis Community Services.
In February, the Girl Scout Cookie Program begins! During the cookie program the girls will learn many business skills, money management, people skills, business ethics, and goal setting. An astonishing 80 percent of female entrepreneurs were once Girl Scouts; now that is a huge impact!
In addition to door-to-door sales, the girls will host four cookie booths. They will be at White’s grocery store Saturday, February 13 from 10:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., at Thrifty King Saturday, February 20 from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Yardmaster Saturday, March 5 from 10:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. and at Squeaky Clean Carwash in Liberal on Western Saturday, March 12 from 10:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
Also this February the girls will be attending a CPR class, so they can become CPR certified. This girl scout group is becoming very involved in the community. The Troop currently has 29 registered Girl Scouts.
In November 2015, Teresa Colantonio of Moscow handed the leadership baton over to Toni Crawford of Moscow and Emily Johnson of Hugoton. These new leaders are very excited to be part of Girl Scout Troop 60077.
“Emily and myself are having a lot of fun with the girls and enjoy providing new opportunities that will help them grow into amazing and confident young women,” said Toni Crawford. The Troop would like to invite any girls from kindergarten age to high school to join them. Meetings take place at the Hugoton Bob Sosa Recreation Center the first and third Thursdays of every month from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m.
