Girls Joined Linked Troop 995

In February, Troop 995 from Gloria Dei Lutheran Church in Arnold celebrated a historic moment: the creation of a linked troop for girls. The seven girls who founded the new linked troop, which is part of the program now called Scouts BSA, are Aubrielle Campbell, Mia Chapman, Zoe Clarke, Heather Doyen, Lela Humphrey, Allie Michaud and Meghan Myers, all from the Broadneck peninsula. Four of the girls have brothers in the troop and are excited to join them in earning merit badges and ranks and learning leadership skills. Bill Doyen, who has served as an assistant scoutmaster of Troop 995 for the past four years, has assumed the role of scoutmaster of the new linked troop.
