In April 2010, a token of appreciation was presented to Girl Scout Troop 31335 on behalf of the U.S. Army by Harry and Jane Moresi of YSI Incorporated, whose son currently serves in the U.S. Army.  During the 2009 Girl Scout Cookie Sale, Troop 31335 sent over 100 boxes of Girl Scout Cookies to soldiers in Iraq.  The soldiers shared the cookies with Iraqi children in the area of Mosul, Iraq, where the soldiers are stationed.  Mr. and Mrs. Moresi extended the deep gratitude of their son, Andrew, and his Battalion for the hard work and generosity of the members of Troop 31335. Congratulations on your accomplishments!

St. Veronica School’s Girl Scout Troop 40423 cheered on the Xavier University women’s basketball team as they crushed the Dayton Flyers at Cintas Center on January 30. The fourth graders were invited to attend the game as part of Cintas Corporation’s “Team Spirit” program. One lucky Girl Scout, Kelly Mathis, was randomly selected from the troop to participate in a "Shoot for the Spirit" scholarship competition during halftime. She tried her luck at free throws — and made a basket. Kelly won a $1,000 scholarship for her efforts. The rest of the troop marched onto the court with the cheerleaders during the second half. It was quite a memorable experience that showed the girls they could be leaders anywhere — on the court, at school, and in life.

 
In 2008 Peach Norman Owen collected over 300 coats and sweatshirts; donating them to the St. Vincent de Paul Society.  In 2009, Peach expanded her efforts, while working on her Girl Scout Silver Award. Peach wanted to provide coats to residents in Clermont County, where she lives. She increased her collection sources by five more organizations.  Peach counted, sorted and delivered the donations. She organized the distribution sites and assisted children and adults as they select their coats. Peach collected more than 730 coats and sweatshirts. On February 3, 2010, the Stonelick Township Board of Trustees in Owensville, Clermont County, presented Peach with their "Outstanding Citizen Award." Congratulations Peach!
