Reading Girl Scout Achievement Award
Recipients of the achievement award are Reading Girl Scouts. The Achievement Award committee is once again requesting that Reading troops consider a donation of 2 cents per box of cookies sold Click here for flyer. Donations may be forwarded to: Girl Scout Achievement Award Committee, c/o Michelle Kramer, 19 Knollwood Rd, Reading, MA 01867. We have only received 2 donations so far. Please remember to donate so that there are enough funds for our graduating seniors!

Girl Scout Food Drive
Leaders have expressed interest in making food collection at bridging ceremonies a town wide event. I am happy to have been able to help as part my hunger awareness Gold Award project. I have provided a flyer for leaders to give out to their girls; having each girl bring a food donation to the ceremony will create a great donation from the Reading Girl Scouts. Donations should be delivered to the Reading Food Pantry via the back entrance of the Old South United Methodist Church on weekdays between 10 am and 2pm. I am glad that Reading leaders are excited about starting this new bridging tradition. Thank you for supporting the Reading Food Pantry and my Gold Award proj ect. Congratulations to all the girls that are bridging. Angela McIntosh
