Girl Scout Troop 3480 wishes everyone a blessed and joyous Eid al Adha. May every year find us in the best of health and strong faith. As we celebrate the bounties bestowed on us, please remember to keep our oppressed brothers and sisters around the world in our prayers. May Allah ease their suffering and remove their oppression. Ameen.
