Girls Scouts from many troops turned out March 12 at the Riverside Township Hall’s auditorium to celebrate 110th birthday of the organization, which was founded in 1912 by Juliette Gordon Low, who registered 18 girls in her troop in Savannah, Georgia. Two sessions of girls, from kindergarten to high school participated, filling the Riverside food pantry boxes with birthday bags and hand-making items to donate to five charities. They wrote cards for Meals on Wheels and Operation Care Package, made blankets for Loyola Hospital patients, cat toys for the Animal Care League and “God’s eyes” for residents at Caledonia Senior Living in North Riverside.
