Girl Scouts from the Cobbossee service unit gathered Dec. 7 for a Holiday Palooza at Highland Avenue United Methodist Church in Gardiner. Girl Scouts used their own troop funds to purchase items such as waterproof gloves, underwear, socks and hats for Bridging the Gap. During the event, Scouts made cards, played games, got creative with recycled crafts, made new friends and reconnected with old friends. Front, from left, are Ava Adams, Candice Ferreira and Payton Hunt; back, from left, are Jill Campbellton, Autumn Lamoreau, Reagan Haas, Stella Johnson, Laney Wing, Delanie Kanaris, Ayanna Noyes, Lana Pratt, Soph Lemar, Paris Fitzherbert and Sophie Aronson. All girls are from Gardiner, West Gardiner, Pittston and Chelsea and surrounding towns. Heather Pratt photo
