assembly line..


Tejas Girl Scouts collected 2,030 cans and delivered to the local food bank in time for the holidays. Thanks to everyone who donated food and money for this cause. The girls had a blast sorting all the food and marking through the bar codes.

The girls in the store waiting to go in the bakery. Everyone had to put on hairnets before going into the bakery. Yes, I did too! Averie told me I looked like a lunch lady....lol

Bread lined up to be sliced.


We all had a wonderful time and learned a lot about healthy eating. The girls all loved getting to bag and label their own bread. Now you can enjoy delicious 100% whole grain bread from a local bakery! Made from freshly ground Montana Wheat berries, their breads are made without white flour, additives, preservatives, stabilizers, vinegar, whey, eggs, or other health affecting products! The Bakery not only carries bread but granola, desserts and other miscellaneous items. Even though the area was small, they gave our troop the best demonstation yet! You really should try some of their banana bread...Bon Appetit!
