Brownies win award
Scout Brownie Troop 40709, of Our Lady of Victory Catholic School in Northville,
recently completed the newest Girl Scout Religious Award , "My Promise, My Faith."
With the spiritual guidance of Pastor Denis B. Theroux, each girl chose a phrase from
the Girl Scout Law and sought an application to that law in her life, in her church and in
her community. The Brownies interviewed church members as part of the project and
made Easter goodie bags for Northville Civic Concern.
