Girl Scouts Troop 18412 A Reality In Kimball

A newly formed Girl Scouts troop has bloomed in Kimball, and they're off to a good start.

Say hello to Troop 18412.

"Throughout the year, these girls have chosen to learn about topics including engineering, responsibility, drawing, Girl Scout history, financial literacy and more through activities and field trips where girls learn by doing," troop co-leader Kayla Fennell told the Observer.

As part of the discovery process, the girls toured the Kimball Recycling Center to learn about what can be recycled and the recycling process. They also helped sort recyclables.

Fennell said it was a "fun field trip" that was all about Scout values.

"Girl Scouts encourages girls to discover new skills and ideas, connect those skills and ideas to a need they see in the world around them, and take action by applying what they have learned to their communities," she explained.

The newly minted Kimball Girl Scouts meet every other Tuesday from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. and, as of fall 2019, will serve girls in kindergarten through the fifth grade.
