Brooklyn troops were 2000. Manhattan troops were 3000. Staten island troops were 5000. This new troop was unique. It belonged to girls who didnt know where they belonged the. It made sense to use numbers normally applied to troops in the other 5 boroughs given they didnt fix the dresses.

For specialized troops like those with special needs were no longer used. The girl scouts of Greater New York settled on a name, troop 6000. Realize this is big. This will be amazing, wanted to jump up and down but as usual, what if she couldnt recruit more girls .

It is my great honor to introduce someone who is a hero of mine, a friend of mine. When i first had the opportunity to meet her and most of the seven, eight years ago i told her the story of how my sister when she was in sixth grade played her in a biography in school where they had to pick somebody that they wanted to emulate and research in play for a day. My sister chose jane goodall. She is truly an inspirational voice for the teacher of our planet, and accomplished scientist, accomplished writer, founder of the Jane Goodall Institute which supports research as well as many other programs and research and education.
