On Nov. 4, a banquet was held to honor the 12 girls from Ansonia Girl Scout Cadette Troop 60500 who earned their Silver Award (Girl Scouts second highest award).
In a collaborative effort, the girls volunteered over 56 hours each in support of Breast Cancer Awareness over the past year, specifically with the Hewitt Breast Center at Griffin Hospital.
They donated a Christmas tree with over 500 breast cancer ornaments; made and donated over 300 mastectomy pillows; made and donated over 100 Bottles of Hope; put together and donated 200 Goodie Bags for items donated by various businesses, family and friends; and met and spent time with the women of the Griffin Breast Cancer Support.
To wrap up their award the girls volunteered at the Annual Griffin Hospital 5K, passing out water and over 200 keychains that they made for the event.
