Girl Scouts Troop thanks service members

The St. Joseph School participated in the Catholic Schools Week Service Project. St. Joseph Catholic School and Girl Scout (GS) Troop 00415 partnered to provide special treats for Adams County active-duty military personnel and military veterans (color guard), American Legion, Post #43.

Part of this GS Cookie sale share program included the sale of St. Joe charcuterie cutting boards; in which the proceeds were added to existing Troop 00415 GS cookie sales to share with military personnel. They partnered with the ACCF Military Gallery to make sure the word is shared about this exciting ‘troops for the troops’ programs. The ACCF contacted families listed in the ACCF military gallery to pick up cookies for their loved ones. Many families stopped by the ACCF to get their goodies and send them to their loved ones.

The ACCF contacted families with active-duty personnel. Many boxes were picked up and sent to our service men and women. Also recognized with this special Girl Scout program will be our American Legion, Post #43 Color Guard. The color guard often do up to four funerals in a week. They travel to surrounding counties to perform the ‘final-salute’ services during the funeral services for military veterans. The ACCF and Girl Scouts recognize these veterans and appreciate their service.
