APPLETON, WI – Women of the Wisconsin State Legislature came together with staff from the Girl Scouts of Wisconsin Alliance for an investiture ceremony of Honorary Girl Scout Troop 1912 on Tuesday, January 24, 2012. Given the troop number 1912—in recognition of the year Girl Scouts was founded— Troop 1912 leaders included Representatives Patricia Strachota and Sondy Pop-Roberts, Lt. Governor Rebecca Kleefisch, and Senators Julie Lassa and Leah Vukmir.

Honorary Troop 1912 is a bipartisan delegation of women members of the Wisconsin State Legislature, established by the Girl Scouts of Wisconsin Alliance to honor women for their contributions as policymakers, recognize their position as role models for girls, and educate the legislative body about issues affecting girls and young women.

Last year Girl Scout Brownie Troop #2099 from Neenah, WI put forth a monumental effort on behalf of Hannah, a nine year-old girl who was struggling with brain cancer. The girls held a bake sale and then donated an incredible $2,500 to assist Hannah’s family with medical bills.

This year, the troop is again doing great things to benefit the community, including projects that benefited Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin-Fox Valley and Goodwill. The troop also decided to forego a Christmas gift exchange to assist those in need.
