Girl Scouts of ranging ages and troop numbers went on a girl power-themed journey for fun and merit patches. Feb. 28, Camp Honi Hanta hosted a Journey Jamboree for local Girl Scouts. The 85 attendees completed activities, such as organizing hygiene kits for the homeless and other community service projects, in hopes of earning the Journey Summit award. The girls also crafted wind chimes, friendship bracelets and other projects, and listened to presentations by speakers such as Richard Brooks, of Florida Power and Light (FPL), who discussed energy and ways to conserve it.
