Staunton Junior Girl Scout Troop 145
visited Chicago to explore the city from April 27 to 29, 2018.
The Girl Scouts and their leaders
traveled via Amtrak from the Carlinville station to Union Station in Chicago --
a first train ride for many of the girls.
During the course of the weekend,
the Girl Scouts walked nearly 22 miles while visiting:
- Willis
Tower to gaze at the city 103 stories below
- the
Shedd Aquarium to learn about the animals and see a dolphin show
- the
Field Museum to learn about mummies, dinosaurs, the microscopic world of
soil, and natural history
- the
Adler Planetarium to take a look at one of the Mars Rovers
- the
Museum of Science and Industry to learn about coal mining and the science
of storms and take a ride in a flight simulator.
- Millennium
Park and the Bean (cloud gate sculpture)
- Pizano's
to try Chicago deep dish pizza
Girl Scout Troop 145 earned the
money for their trip through numerous cookie booths throughout the last year.
Next year they are excited to plan to visit Savannah, GA -- the birthplace of
Girl Scouts -- and see the ocean!!!
