Brownie Troop 3327 will adopt ...

HOLLY, Michigan – During the school year, the members of Brownie Troop 3327 stay pretty busy, working on projects, working on their badges, and during the holiday season, figuring out ways to help those in need.

Meeting every other Wednesday at Holly Elementary School, troop leader Angie Broegman-Stinde said her troop of third-grade girls from Holly Elementary School and Holly Academy have been busy collecting the necessary funds to spend on an adopted family this season.

“We’re working on collecting money to, as a troop, adopt a family this Christmas,” Broegman-Stinde said. “It’s a great project because it really allows us to talk more about community service and what that really means.”

On Wednesday, the girls had plenty to do – making festive holiday tambourines, and later, reading a skit about Julliette Low, an American youth leader, and the founder of Girl Scouts of America.

“We always manage to stay pretty busy,” Broegman-Stinde said. “But that’s what makes being in Brownies so much fun – they all really enjoy it.”
