Orange County Girl Scout Troops Adopt Binky Patrol
One of the most important things that Girl Scouts do is help others. Girl Scouts all over the United States and around the world do service projects which have helped generations of Girl Scouts develop self esteem, clarify personal goals, and feel pride in working with others towards a common goal.

Binky Patrol is very excited to be this year’s recipient of the Girl Scouts 2002 council-wide community service project.
All Daisy through adult Girl Scouts can participate in this event. As troops or individuals, Girl Scouts will make binkies for donation to children in need throughout Orange County. Each Scout participating can purchase a “Caring Hearts, Helping Hands” patch at the council shop for $1.50.
We’re asking each troop to make at least one binky. Don’t worry about it being perfect – as long as it comes from your heart, it will be beautiful! Click here for samples. Each troop leader has been given a Binky Patrol label. Please sew that on the back corner of the binky.
April 13th from 9am – noon will be the drop off day. Depots will be set up at any of the Girl Scout Program Centers in Anaheim, Costa Mesa, Yorba Linda, Newport Beach, Fullerton, Laguna Beach, and Seal Beach.
We also need volunteers on April 13th at the drop off sites to help receive and sort all the binkies. If you are interested in helping, please contact Mimi Askew at the Girl Scouts of Orange County headquarters – 714-979-7900 x350 or maskew@gscoc.org
Service Unit Leaders will be receiving a package of information at their meeting on Feb. 5th.
