Girl Scout Troop creates care kits for Red Cross

A group of Girl Scouts from Troop 3385 worked to earn their Bronze Award by creating specialized care kits for children affected by disasters in the Flathead Valley.  

The project aims to supplement the American Red Cross's existing assistance programs. The Girl Scouts recently delivered 30 care kits to the Kalispell Red Cross office, where they will be distributed to children in need during times of crisis. 

The initiative began when the Girl Scouts recognized a gap in disaster relief efforts. While the Red Cross provides immediate assistance to families experiencing house fires or evacuations, there was a lack of resources specifically tailored for children in these situations.
