As more details have emerged about the tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary School, Girl Scouts of Southern Arizona is
saddened to learn that eight Girl Scout Daisies and sons of two Girl Scout families have died as a result of the shootings. We are devastated by these losses and will keep the families in our hearts.
Many sister Girl Scouts have asked what they can do to help. Currently, Girl Scouts of Connecticut is planning a memorial service with the Newtown Service Unit in mid-January. At that time, they will be presenting thoughts, prayers, and well-wishes on trefoil art.
If you or any of your troops would like to participate, please send these trefoils to our Hartford Service Center, c/o Trefoil Project, 340 Washington St. Hartford, CT 06106.
We will be collecting the trefoil artwork at our Resource Centers in Tucson, Sierra Vista, Nogales and Yuma and will ship them together. You can find the artwork below to print, or come by any of the Resource Centers to complete the activity.
For more information and excellent resources for talking with your girls, please visit the Girl Scouts of Connecticut website.

our Girl Scout troop is collecting teddy bears and other stuffed animals for the children of Sandy Hook elementary school. They can be handmade, gently used (clean & good condition), or store bought. You can drop them off at the resource center or contact me a the email below. We would like to get them sent out around Christmas. We also encourage troops to make cards and letters. Please contact me if you would like to help! Sahuarotroop1118@gmail.com
My troop would LOVE to participate in this activity! We had our troop Christmas Party on Friday, December 14th, and I had to explain the tragedy to most of my girls. We are a troop of a few Daisies, and many Juniors. They were very saddened by this tragedy, and wanted to help in some way. This would make them feel like they made a difference and can add to the collection of well wishes for the children in Newtown.
