played on the beach and collected sea shells.Monday was spent at
Ellis Island and Liberty Island where we went into the Statue of

RegionsImprovements at the Osage City Scout HouseThe Osage City
Scouts are working together to improve and make a more inviting
Scout House in Osage City. Cadette Troop 30144 painted the main
meeting room to kick off the improvements. This might be a tiresome
project for some people, but these girls stepped up to the plate.
Girl Scout troops in the area will paint the other rooms. Osage
City Boy Scouts will be renovating the floors. To add warmth the
Cadette troop plans to make colorful curtains for the main meeting
room. These improvements are positive steps in the right direction
for the Scout House. Pictured Back row: Loretta, Kailyn, Courtney,

Pictured: Pam, Debbie, David, Brooklynn, Alexis, and Kara Who Done
it? Mystery. Girl Scout Cadettes, Seniors and Ambassadors were
invited to Who Done It: The American Icon, Simon Fowell Mystery, at
the Emporia Amend Girl Scout Center. Before the murder occurred the
girls enjoyed a dinner then the excitement started. Each Girl Scout
was as- signed a character as a contestant, cast or crew member.
The plot was that the participants, cast and crew shuffled into the
studio then the lights suddenly went black and they heard a
chilling scream. It was up to the girls to figure out what happened
that fateful night. Abby, a Girl Scout from the Emporia Region, was
a contestant in the mystery. Her favorite part was playing her
character, an undercover reporter. It was a blast trying to figure
out who the killer was by comparing notes with the other girls,
said Abby, with all the clues that we were comparing, it felt like
we were playing Clue, but in real life. There were different prizes
given to the girls who asked the best questions. Everyone guessed
who the murderer was except the person, Who Done It. The Girl
Scouts of Carbondale, Independence, Marion, Waverly, and Burlington
had a great time enjoying the outdoors at their day camps this
summer! They participated in many activities including campfire
cooking, hiking, archery, crafts, fishing, Emporia Office: 1200
