Calling Girl Scouts of all ages! In honor of Juliette Gordon Low's
birthday, help Girl Scouts of Southern Illinois create birthday bags
for local food pantries throughout the month of October. This council
wide community service project will run from October 1st- October
31st, ending on Juliette Gordon Low's Birthday. There is no cost for
this program.
By celebrating birthdays in the community,
this service project focuses on making a positive impact by helping
those in need. A birthday is a big deal! A day of celebrating the
coming year with exciting opportunities. We want to share
that
excitement with others by sharing that we are thinking of them on
their birthday. This is a memorable experience for Girl Scouts and
everyone involved.
