The goal is to bring 140 middle and high school youth from different faiths together for an afternoon packing food for the hungry at Washington Hebrew Congregation in Potomac. We will pack in shifts and have time to eat together, share what service means in our faiths, talk about service projects we do as individuals or in our groups and talk about ways we can support each others’ service projects in the future.

For more information on CAIF, visit www.capitalareainterfaithfriends.org

Please RSVP as space is limited to 140 youth.

For the Cadette Special Agent badge program, girls will learn the secrets from the worlds of forensic science and criminal psychology.	In the Junior Detective badge program, girls will learn the necessary skills and discover a new passion by becoming an official Crime Museum Detective.

Girls should dress for the weather and wear Girl Scout vests. We will depart New Carollton Metro at 10:45AM. The program lasts 12 Noon – 2PM. We will return to New Carrollton Metro at 3PM. No tag-a-longs.

Brownies & Daisies Go Bananas at Fire Engine Volunteer Department 39

The Brownies and Daisies had a great visit at Fire Engine Volunteer Department 39 on March 13. The Daisies earned the Respect Authority Petal and the Brownies completed their First Aid Badge. Two women EMTs and a woman firefighter spoke to them about how and when to call 911, the importance of wearing helmets when riding bicycles, how to apply band aids and demonstrated putting on the firefighter gear apparatus and air tanks. Since Girl Scouts are so well known for their fabulous songs and singing everywhere, the girls concluded the session by singing “Go Bananas” as the firefighters joined in. The visit ended with everyone climbing onto the fire trucks. This was their most favorite field trip of the year so far.
