In honor of the Girl Scouts’ 100th anniversary, troops from Service Unit 51-7 launched the “Spread the Warmth: Girl Scout 100 Blanket Drive” in December support of Reston Interfaith’s Embry Rucker Shelter. At a December meeting, Girl Scouts brought in the blankets, linens, towels and pillows they collected; created Thank You cards for donors; created flyers for collection bags; decorated cards for Operation Smile; listened to a presentation by Reston Interfaith on other volunteer opportunities; and bagged the blankets and linens, and placed them in Reston Interfaith’s van. Thanks to the girls' donations, as well as donations from Herndon Patch and Reston Patch readers, SU 51-7 reached its goal of 100 blankets in December. Submitted by: Therese Howe |

Brownie Troop 1225 First Aid
Brownie Troop 1225 of SU 54-16 Fairfax, Leaders Kristin Kelley and Pat Moran, earned their First Aid Badge at a troop meeting recently. They had a great time role playing First Aid responses. Bandaging each other was definitely a highlight! They came away feeling better about what to do in an emergency, how to properly call 911, and how to do a Site Safety Checklist wherever they gather!
