Girl Scout Troup 2342 Thinks Globally — Acts Locally(英文)

此内容暂无简体中文译文,以下为英文原文。

Historical February 1991 article. Dates, prices, services and contacts describe the source period; current availability has not been established.

St. Roch Junior Girl Scout Troop 2342, under the direction of Tina Gerard, Judy Murphy, and Mary Vanicelli, are “thinking globally and acting locally.” The girls, most of whom are students at St. Roch School, and their leaders have been trying to find a way to support the American troops in Saudi Arabia, some of whom are relatives and friends of the Girl Scouts.

They have come up with a great idea.

The scouts are actively participating in the current Girl Scout cookie drive to earn funds for their local projects, but they have also pledged to purchase a box of cookies per scout to send to the troops in Saudi Arabia.

The scouts are aware that they must select a cookie that will withstand shipment to the desert, therefore, they have opted to send 1-2 cases of non-chocolate delights.

This well thought-out plan even has an option in case the war has ended by the time the cookies are due to arrive locally on March 11. Just in case the troops are not longer in Saudi Arabia, the girls will deliver the cookies to the USO at Lambert Field for military personnel who use that facility.
