Giving back and thinking of others is a part of what makes a Girl Scout so great. Recently, Troop 681 wrote and sent a care package to 303rd Military Intelligence Battalion. In return, a flag was flown in their honor on the 24th of May 2012. The girls received the flag in the mail with a certificate thanking them for their support of the military. Troop 681 has decided to donate the flag to the council! Thanks and awesome job ladies!
