Girl Scout Junior Troop 1297
Lake in the Hills, IL
Mascot trips for 2005-2006
We have just adopted a new friends into our troop. Orleana Otter and Violet Cottontail has joined our Girl Scout family and are looking forward to traveling this year. We named Orleana as a remembrance of the destruction of Hurricane Katrina, which happened a week before we adopted her and Violet is violet!
We chose a otter, deer and groundhog for our mascots because they are native to Illinois and they were SOOO cute!
