Hi Friends,

Are any of you a Girl Scout or Boy Scout? I want to tell you about my troop 23029. We’re Brownies and we do a lot of great things. We learn stuff, take trips, make crafts and help people. During the holidays, we made Christmas stockings and packed them with gifts for needy kids in our area. It made us all feel good to help others.

We’re getting ready to start selling cookies again this year. My mommy says the Girl Scouts are trying to make their cookies healthier. And we both wish that they’d add an organic cookie to their line. So, if the Girl Scouts want help, my mommy says KIWI would be happy to do that. I’m sure my troop would make good taste testers.

Write to me and tell me about your troop. What do you like best about Girl Scouts or Boy Scouts?

Amalia had this to say:

"I liked reading about your Brownie Troop. At Brownies we went on a journey. We made cookies and gingerbread men and then after eating a few we decorated little bags and took them somewhere. We took them to an old people's home nearby. We sang holiday songs to all the people in the home."

Gung Hay Fat Choy! (Happy Chinese New Year!)
