On Friday, Nov. 11, the 5th grade Junior Troop of the Lyme and Old Lyme Girl Scouts met for their monthly meeting.  The focus of the troop’s activities for the 2011-2012 year is donating time/food and resources to charities in need.  To date they have assisted in making cards for the military and lap blankets for seniors.

This month, they made a mass of pies for the food pantry. 

As Junior Girl Scouts they are working towards earning their Bronze award, which requires the girls to account for 20 or more hours of community service.  

Their pie donation brings them steps closer to achieving their goal.  Their final project will be a food drive for the food pantry around the March/April timeframe.
