Cadette Girl Scout Troop 990 from Sterling poses for a Visiting Savannah group photo after participating in a pinning ceremony in the garden of the Juliette Gordon Low House in Savannah, Ga., in June. The troop enjoyed a full week of activites that included a trolley tour of historic downtown Savannah, a ghost tour, a trip to the Tybee Island Marine Science Museum that gave them the opportunity to throw a seine net in the ocean and examine their catch of local marine life. They also enjoyed a dolphin tour and a full day of activities at the home of the founder of the Girl Scouts, Juliette Gordon Low. Members of the troop earned two Interest Project patches: “Discover Savannah” and “Sister Of The Palette” by participating in the activities throughout the week. People Notes
