Wisconsin Tragedy
As many have read, a terrible tragedy occurred Saturday, November 3 in Lake Hallie, Wisconsin, involving a hit-and-run crash that killed three girls and one adult volunteer from Girl Scouts of the Northwestern Great Lakes’ Troop 3055, leaving at least one other girl who was listed in critical condition and has since been reported as stabilized and improving. The girls and volunteers were all living our mission, making their community a better place while following proper safety protocols, including being dressed in bright vests and, in the case of the girls, properly supervised by adults, as they cleaned up a stretch of highway they had adopted. The driver, who was reported to be driving while intoxicated, turned himself in and is in police custody.
GSUSA and GSCCC posted Facebook messages on Sunday to alert our members:
At this difficult time, we turn our thoughts to our sister Girl Scouts in Wisconsin, who are mourning the tragic news. Girl Scouts of the Northwestern Great Lakes is holding a candlelight vigil at 6:00 p.m. CT – 7 p.m. ET today; we invite Girl Scouts everywhere to join the council in honoring the lives of the deceased by lighting a candle, observing a moment of silence, or engaging in other meaningful rituals. Girl Scouts of the Northwestern Great Lakes is inviting anyone who would like to send a card to send it to their Eau Claire Service Center: 4222 Oakwood Hills Pkwy, Eau Claire, WI 54701.
We are aware this accident impacted Girl Scouts everywhere and that some GSCCC troops would like to dedicate meetings to creating cards and sending them to Girl Scouts of the Northwestern Great Lakes Council. We understand that activities of this type may result in discussions of a sensitive nature. Therefore, we ask that troop leaders use the sensitive issues program permission slip for this purpose. We also suggest that they refer to a GSUSA resource - leading difficult conversations with confidence. Cards may continue to be mailed to the address we posted earlier - Eau Claire Service Center: 4222 Oakwood Hills Pkwy, Eau Claire, WI 54701.
