OUR LOCAL TROOP

Our troop, AL0412, was founded in January 2022. We currently have 18 girl members aged 5-12. In our first six months as a troop, our founding members earned their Joining Award, Our Flag Badge, Cake Decorating Badge, and the Respect Life and Founding Troop Member patch. We set and exceeded our fundraising goal and participated in the Walk 4 Life benefitting Women’s Hope Medical Clinic. The troop hosted a raffle at Parish Picnic, and Pioneer members baked and donated cakes for the cake walk. Some of our members were able to attend the Auburn University Graduate Women in Science “Spring into Science” and learn from women about different degrees and career paths in the sciences.  Girls helped organize our very first troop Camping Trip at Chewacala State Park in May. Finally, we ended the program year with our Award Ceremony where families we able to celebrate with their girls all their hard work!
