Service Unit Director 886

Girl Scouts celebrated the beginning of Girl Scout Week, which runs from March 8th to 14th, with a Community Service event this past Sunday, March 8th. Each troop brought all the necessary supplies for their station, which then Girl Scouts used to create items for our community. We had 60 Girl Scouts and Volunteers from Service Unit 886 of Geneseo and Atkinson participate. Afterwards most of the Girl Scouts went to a planned event at the bowling alley to celebrate their hard work.

We would like to thank all of those that help support Girl Scouts, including those in our community and the Geneseo Community Chest.

What these girls completed during the event:
- 45 bus driver and crossing guard treat bags
- 100 Kindness rocks
- 120 cat toys and 50 dog treats for the Humane Society
- 200 thank you bags for local teachers
- 60 cards for dialysis patients
- Oodles of bracelets to make people smile
- 50 Placements for nursing homes
- 50 appreciation snack packs and cards for first responders
- 120 seed bombs for Girl Scout camp
