For the girls in Southold Girl Scout Troop 3040, helping others just comes naturally. They feel strongly it’s part of their duty as scouts, with an emphasis on giving back and respecting the communities they live in.
So on Thursday, members of the Troop came to San Simeon Center for Nursing and Rehabilitation with their projects that were part of the Girl Scout Silver Award, the highest award a Girl Scout cadette (grades 6-8) can achieve.
