Troop Tuesday – March 23

Sending a #TroopTuesday shout out to Troop 50979 of the Clarion service unit! The girls tackled their cookie goals by persevering and adapting! The troop held booth sales every chance they could and created videos for their Digital Cookie sites. Thanks to their generous cookie customers, the troop will be able to donate 200 packages to military men and women overseas and more than two cases to Clarion Hospital.

Do you have an awesome #TroopTuesday story? Send it to us at socialmedia@gswpa.org to be featured!
