Scouts post food drive, hold ceremony

Girl Scout Troop 20160, based in Wrightsville, has planned community service projects.

The Scouts will hold a food drive in partnership with Wrightsville For All's Fall Fest on Saturday, Nov. 9. The Scouts walked predetermined routes on Oct. 10 to distribute paper collection bags with a flyer attached. They will revisit the same routes on the morning of Nov. 9 to pick up the bags with any donations of food and personal hygiene items. Donations can also be brought to the Fall Fest, scheduled to be held from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Nov. 9 at Wrightsville Presbyterian Church, 205 N. Second St., Wrightsville. All donations will benefit the Eastern York Food Pantry.

Troop 20160 is new to the Wrightsville Borough, having operated for the past two years in East Prospect. The group, consisting of Daisies, Brownies, and Juniors, is seeking opportunities to connect with and serve its community.

The troop was scheduled to hold an investiture and rededication ceremony on Oct. 24. During the event, the Scouts received the gift of an American flag classroom set and donation toward a troop banner from the Wrightsville American Legion Post 469.
