Roselle Park Girl Scouts Cadette Troop #40349 are collecting items for Children’s Specialized Hospital in Mountainside as well as items for American troops stationed overseas.
Troop #40349 consists of middle school girls who are currently working on their Silver Award Projects, the highest award a Girl Scouts Cadette can earn, and these collections will go as part of their Award.
The Girl Scouts are collecting the following items for the children of Children’s Specialized Hospital in Mountainside. Everyone is invited to kindly donate any of the following items for which the hospital has a desperate need:

- Small packs of crayons (4 to 8 crayons per pack)
Additionally, in support of our wounded members of the U.S. Armed Forces, the Girl Scouts are seeking donations of various items to be made into ‘go bags’. Collected supplies will be sent to Operation Quiet Comfort, Dearborn, MI for packaging and distribution to service men and women who are recovering from injuries sustained while in harm’s way.
