Scouts explore world at International Night

Clarkston Girl Scouts celebrated World Thinking Day with International Night, Feb. 23 at Springfield Oaks Activity Center.
More than 500 scouts, family and friends from seven Clarkston schools attended. Participants had their passport stamped as they listened to music, exchanged swaps and sampled cuisine from 31 countries.
The evening of international insight was organized by the fifth-grade Junior Girl Scout Troop 13149 from Bailey Lake Elementary. The girls planned, organized and executed the event, working toward their Bronze Award.
The troop represented Red Cross guides for the evening. The girls collaborated with the Southeast Michigan branch of the Red Cross and collected more than $175 for Haiti Relief.
Troop 13149 scouts are Gloria Branch, Lexie Fiori, Emily Greatorex, Diana Hoeksema, Sophie Kubli, Casie Rowden, Riley Rumbold, Cassie Sadenwater, Hannah Wright and Rachel Wright. Troop leader is Ellen Wright.
