The girls, troop leaders, senior citizen Girl Scouts, parents and friends of Troop 766, Elyton Village Community Troop and Troop 207, Mt. Ararat Baptist Church Troop, spent some of their Christmas break by giving back to others by providing a little love to the homeless in Linn Park. The girls made over 120 scarves for the homeless. as well as giving 100 pairs of gloves, and over 120 caps for them to wear. They also gave them 10 blankets. The girls also gave 200  gift bags for them, each bag containing socks, snacks and facial tissue as well as 200 brown bags which included a fruit and a juice.
The girls used their cookie and candy profit to purchase some of the items. Other items were donated by these amazing girls, their supportive parents, their wonderful registered senior citizen Girl Scouts, especially Lee Colvin, Pastor Barbara Chapman, Dr. Carol Johnson, John Hicks Jr., Gwen Dawkins, Nathaniel Reed, Jesse Chapman, Viola Davis, Clara Yelder, Walter and Ann Jemison, great friends and dedicated troop leaders and assistants.
Their passion and kindness with the homeless started four years ago. The girls try to do something for the homeless at least twice a year, along with their other community service.
As a part of this service project, the girls have made a three minute film that will be on YouTube this week. This is the second year President Obama has had a film fest.  This year the White House is looking for videos that highlight the impact of service and giving back. Our girls have entered the contest. We ask that you would go to YouTube, put in White House Film Fest Giving Back 2015 and go to Girl Scouts Making a Difference by Warming Hearts. Let us know if you like it. The winner of the contest will go to the White House to watch the film with the President and his family, so please support the girls.
