Coventry & Bolton, CT — Girl Scout Troop 65181 is bringing warmth and comfort to those in need through a heartfelt service project spanning both Coventry and Bolton.
The troop is collecting brand new and handmade blankets to donate to a wide range of organizations, including the Department of Children and Families (DCF), hospitals serving cancer patients and children, and local domestic violence shelters. By focusing on these groups, the scouts are ensuring that their efforts reach some of the most vulnerable members of the community.
Blankets will be gathered at troop-led events in both towns, with the goal of providing not only physical warmth but also a reminder that neighbors care. Leaders emphasized that the project reflects the Girl Scouts’ mission of service and compassion, while also teaching the girls the importance of addressing real needs in their communities.
Through this initiative, Troop 65181 demonstrates how young people can make a meaningful difference, offering comfort and hope during challenging times. Their work highlights the power of collective action and the lasting impact of even simple items like a blanket.
