Girl Scouts around our council are always active – camping, traveling, doing service projects, and making the world a better place.
From badge work to community service, our troop empower themselves to stretch their imaginations, learn new things and create positive impact in our community.
We invite all GSCI troops to share your adventures with us. Complete this form and include pictures of your work.
Troop 4992 - Washington
Girl Scout Troop 4992 met with firefighters from the Washington Fire Department to complete steps toward their Philanthropy and First Aid Badges! The Brownies donated gently used stuffed animals to be given to children needing comfort in emergency situations and learned first aid techniques from the firefighters, like how to make a splint.
Troop 6196 - Athens
Taking care of our furry friends! Girl Scout Troop 6196 visited Laketown Animal Hospital and got to be a vet for a day. They learned how veterinarians perform exams, dental cleanings, x-rays and surgeries, got a full tour of the hospital and went home with their very own stethoscopes!
Service Unit 8 - Bloomington
Girl Scouts from Service Unit 8 spent the day getting in touch with nature at Humiston Woods! The Daisies, Brownies, Juniors and Cadettes had the opportunity to earn two outdoor badges and worked on their camping skills, went on a hike, got crafty with outdoor art and made s'mores!
Troop 6200 - Springfield
Girl Scouts from Troop 6200 took a trip to the Springfield Fire Fighters Local 37 fire station! The troop went on a full tour of the station, got to sit in the fire truck, spray the fire hose and learn about fire safety. They even met Star, one of only 5 women in the Springfield Fire Department. What an awesome example of women breaking barriers!
Troop 4704 - Dunlap
As part of their Agents of Change Journey, Girl Scouts from Troop 4704 made toiletry kits to benefit their local women's shelter, Peoria Rescue Ministries' Esther House. They put together and delivered bags filled with shampoo and conditioner, soap, towels, brushes and more to help 20 women.
Troop 2941 - Mahomet
Girl Scout Troop 2941 visited Memorial Stadium and earned their Junior Music Badge with the help of the University of Illinois Marching Illini. The Girl Scouts toured the different instrument sections, learned how woodwinds and brass instruments make sound and change pitch, explored basic music notation, learned conducting techniques from a drum major, and made their own small wind instrument!
Troop 4082 - Peoria
To celebrate a successful cookie season, Daisy Girl Scout Troop 4082 participated in a scone backing lesson at Four30 Scones. The troop enjoyed measuring ingredients, shaping and cutting the dough, icing their scones and adding LOTS of sprinkles! Each Girl Scout got to take home their delicious treats to enjoy.
Troop 5984 - Bowen
What a great way to spread joy over the holiday season! Brownie Troop 5984 purchased gifts for a child in need of being "adopted" for the Christmas Program within their school district. After discussing the importance of giving to others in need, the troop visited Walmart and each Girl Scout selected items to be gifted.
Troop 3044 - Clinton
Troop 3044 is a new troop this year. Since our first meeting at the beginning of August we have completed several service projects: making and donating toys to a local pet rescue organization, making, decorating and delivering cookies to a local firehouse, and collecting tab tops for the Ronald McDonald House with the proceeds directed toward helping a young girl in our community. We have plans for many more service projects as that is one focus of the troop: to give back and help others. Some of those projects include making no-sew blankets for a local shelter, collecting personal care items for a local woman's shelter and collecting gently used shoes for an international organization.
Troop 4099 - Fulton
Troop 4099 used funds raised throughout the last couple of years to donate supplies to Fulton County Human Society. The girls provided a list of needed supplies and went shopping together to purchase the supplies. They were delivered to various locations of the Fulton County Humane Society.
