CROTON GIRL SCOUT TROOP 2267 RECENT FUNDRAISER FOR FIRST RESPONDERS AND DPW

Welcome to Everything Croton, (while the New One is down) a collection of all things Croton--our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools, our houses of worship--in short, EVERYTHING CROTON.Support Croton’s First Responders & DPW with Girl Scout Cookies!

Croton Girl Scout Troop 2267's recent fundraiser to support Croton's First Responders and DPW was very successful. They collected donations to provide 31 boxes (enough for every employee at DPW) plus a few more that will be distributed to our first responders.

Cookies were distributed in two ways: handed directly to DPW employees working overtime last Saturday, and the balance were delivered to the DPW office on Tuesday. Click on the photos below, all rights reserved. The DPW workers were truly touched by the gesture.

Girl Scouts are still selling cookies to be donated to Croton Caring, local first responders, veterans and the military, as well as to satisfy your own Girl Scout cookie fix! The best way is to order from a local Girl Scout or at an upcoming booth.

People who are interested in buying Girl Scout cookies can find upcoming cookie booths or place an order to be shipped straight to them from local troops at

You can sometimes find "her" missives on assorted facebook pages and physically posted paper copies on community bulletin boards.
