Creative Cooking at Camp

Older Girl Scouts from several service units got together over the weekend to cook creatively.  Lead by "Hoss" from the Mercer Area Girl Scouts, the girls cooked Chinese, Mexican, and Italian food as they earned the Creative Cooking IP.  Afterwards some scouts and leaders took advantage of the snow and enjoyed time on the sledding slopes at Camp Elliott.

Cookies and Camp

Ready for another day at Day Camp!

It's time for two of the best things about Girl Scouting - our cookies and going to Girl Scout camp!  The Girl Scout cookie sale started on January 6th and Summer Camp Registration opened today, January 9th.  Booth sales will be held throughout Mercer from February 24th to March 11th, 2012.   

Camp offerings range from 1 day programs for younger scouts, to 3 day/2night CORE camps for Troops, to week long day and overnight camps for individual Scouts.  Check out the S'MORE guide to Summer Camp for all the info you'll need for Girl Scout fun next summer!

How does your Troop celebrate the holidays?

Daisy Troop 24 at Kraynak's

From visiting Kraynak's Christmas Display to helping with Operation Christmas Child, Mercer Girl Scout troops are busy celebrating the holidays.  Already this season, several Troops have purchased gifts for the Children's Aid Society's Christmas referral program, while others have made plans to go Christmas caroling at local nursing homes.   

This weekend, two troops of Senior and Ambassador Girl Scouts are traveling to Ohio to volunteer as elves at the North Pole stop of the Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad's Polar Express train ride.  Watch for more festive photos coming soon!    

Cadette Troop 94 helping with Operation Christmas Child

"To help people at all times"

This Saturday Troop 30834 helped the American Red Cross clean out their attic and decorate for Christmas and then watch the New Castle Fire Department put out a fire right across the street. After that they delivered 60+ blankets to the City Rescue Mission. Today they helped to distribute Thanksgiving dinners closer to home at Loaves and Fishes. Great job Girls!

Scouts attend SCIP Day at CMU

Scouts from Mercer attended Scout College IP Day (SCIP Day) at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh in early November, where they each attended an IP session that they were interested in.
