Scouting the future


It's almost the end of Girl Scout cookie season, which means your local troops have been working hard! This time of year is especially meaningful for Troop 6000, which is comprised entirely of girls who are experiencing homelessness or living in shelters in the Greater New York area. This super troop's cookie sales go directly to help women and girls across more than 20 shelters in the region, and since 2017, their sales have netted more than $1.6 million. This January, Troop 6000 expanded to bring the program to immigrants and asylum seekers. So far, 100 migrant girls have joined Troop 6000. Such an opportunity can mean the world to little girls, like 11-year-old Laura, who came to New York from Colombia six months ago. “I’ve only seen this in the movies," she says. "This is like a dream come true."

  


 

42 million

 

That's how many Americans are expected to travel at least 50 miles from home over Memorial Day Weekend, according to a new AAA forecast. The holiday, which falls on May 29, could cause a substantially high level of airport congestion not seen since 2005, according to the report.
