Toiletry Drive

My Cadette troop is working on the From Fitness to Fashion IPA. On of the requirements is the have a Toiletry Drive. So we meet today in an area of our town the is rich with Doctor and Dentist offices. I have the girls go in the dentist offices in groups of 2 and 3 (don’t need to overwhelm anyone working there). Here is what they said.

Hi we are from troop 10417 and we are collecting Toiletries for those in need. Do you have any toothbrushes, floss or toothpaste that you would be able to donate?

I first office look at them like they were crazy and said they would need to check and asked for a contact phone number. They looked very disappointed when they walked out. I was starting to think that maybe this wasn’t going to work. Then we hit the next office and the girls came out with a box of toothpaste. Now the excitement was building. Each time they returned with items the girls would gather around and check out what they received. It was just like when you go Trick-or-Treating and you walk away from a house and check out the candy you received.

After about 1 ½ hours walking that street we jumped in the cars and headed over to a street that had three hotels in a row. We hit pay dirt there also. We collect shampoo, lotion, and mouthwash.

All in all it was a very successful day!

GS Jacket for Sale, WHAT!


Last night I was killing time and was looking around on eBay. For the heck of it I typed in “GS Patches.” The screen pops up and at the very top is a patch jacket. click --> Hmmm, interesting who would sell that. (don't know how long this link will work) I clicked.

At the top of the screen shows a tiny picture of this item. Even that small my eyes zero in on several patches. OMG, I have a ton of patches this person has. And the ones that caught my eye we from Two Sentinels. I yelled to Heather “come here and check this out.” Then I scrolled to the additional pictures below and saw even more. There is a patch on the front with the name Heather. Hmmm, who could this be? I sent the link to my mom. She looked at all the pictures and gave it some thought came up with an answer. This person was in my Senior Troop.

Can you believe that! She identified someone through a GS Jacket!
