Memories of
OUR
Girl Scout
Troop 456
Wasilla Alaska
We dedicate this page to all the Girl Scouts in the World
Who We Are and What We Do 1994-2001
Some of us are NOW Cadet's
and we live in Wasilla Alaska. Our troop had
creative and talented girls. We all enjoyed the time that we spent together
since kindergarten. The camping trips and projects that we all did together. God
Bless each one of you wonderful girls in your what ever you choose to pursue. As you
continue to grow and learn you will accomplish many things.
(3 have been with us since Daisies, the rest joined later) and we love doing badge work, community projects, singing songs, playing games, camping, and craft projects.
Our troop crest, the Purple Pansy, known as "Hearts-Ease", stands for service and friendship.
Learn more about troop crests and what they mean.
As a service project, we collected toys and clothing for children in the local Interfaith Christmas Program the Angel Tree for children in need in our community. We also participated in Scouting for Food with the Boy Scouts to stock up our local food bank.
We have had an adventure through time while we worked on Local Lore Badge. In the year 1898 seekers of GOLD headed up North to Alaska.
This officially started the Gold Rush of "98".
In 1998 we celebrated the 100th year since that faithful find. Our community has one of those mines. Independence Mine is said to still have GOLD in them there hills.
We visited the museum and
learned about all kinds of tools that miners, trappers, Cheechakco and Sourdough might have used in their everyday
life.
And cookie sales start on
In February us Alaskans Enjoy Fur Rendezvous
Since old times in Alaska
this was the time of the year when the miners and trappers would
bring their furs in to trade. The Iditrod Sled Dog Race from
Anchorage to Nome tracks over 1000 miles of rugged Alaska
wilderness. The girls have been busy raising funds to attend this
event. We will be staying in a hotel with a swimming pool. The
next day we will watch the Rondy Races then ride fast and scary
rides at the fair.

troop. We covered all the requirements for Toy maker Badge.
