Community Service!
 

 Troop #1111 is a service oriented Troop. All of the leaders here in Troop # 1111 believes there are no reasons why every girl in this troop should not be able to earn a service patch. Here in Troop #1111 there is a contest...we call it "Service Hearts" and for every 5 hours, your daughter will be presented with a service heart.
One of our girls ended up with 7 service hearts last year.  There were two girls with 6 service hearts and one girl with 5 service hearts. Those 4 girls represented more than half of the total service for the whole troop. There will be a top winner for each level.
So serve your community proud! 
 There are some rules in the “Service Hearts” contest. The girls cannot have gardening with grandma count, or serving as an altar girl....but working in a soup kitchen, going to a nursing home (playing games or doing crafts with the residents), going to the shelter and socializing kittens or puppies, assisting with shelving books at county library, community/school beautification, etc do. If you have a question about something that would 'count', let Wendy or I know. Each girl has the chance to serve her community well and with pride.
 People here in the community are very grateful and proud of all the accomplishments our girls in Troop # 1111 have achieved.
