All those good deeds...

As promised I want to share what some of the girls and troops from around the council are doing to help others this holiday season. There have been so many troops doing their part to make the world a better place over the last few weeks. It really is a special thing for girls to help out in their communities and do service to others. It shows them they are not too small to make a difference. Please share your story with us. You can post pics and tidbits to our Facebook wall.

Glad Tidings We Bring…

Troops 259 and 3155 in Morehouse Parish participated in the Christmas Parade in Bastrop on December 1 and their float won first place! Congrats on that girls.

Troops 2135, 406, 030, 304, and 374 all marched in the Sonic Christmas Parade in Lafayette on December 2.




Troop 424 had a float in the Sulphur Parade.

Troop 87 in Westlake will be participating in the Christmas Parade there.

SU 253 and 254 will participate in the Winter Festival at Fort Polk and the parade in Leesville.

A Caroling We Will Go…

Troops 87, 86, 94, 104, 142, 741, 2034, 2375, 2703, 2704, and 2850 lit up the city of Lake Charles and caroled for all to hear. (They must have a struck a chord with someone because they made the front page of the paper!)




Troop 83 will be going to carol at the Avalon Place Nursing Home.

It’s the Little Things…

Troop 2375 baked several hundred cookies and served them at the Community Thanksgiving in Sulphur.

Troop 291 spent 3 hours making scarves, decorated spoons and other holiday items to give to the residents of the VA nursing home.



Troop 332 collected wipes, germ-ex and other similar toiletries to send to the military unit that one of the girl’s father’s in. He and his unit are stationed in Afghanistan and desperately want those items.

Troops from Service Units 204,206,207 and 208 have been very busy! You can see more of their Community Service Efforts. Also, coming soon you can read more about them, from a guest blog from volunteer Laura Faulk.

A Delhi troop has decided to adopt a police department. Stay tuned for more details!
