Local Girl Scouts on a mission to cookie success

FALLBROOK – Fallbrook Girl Scout Junior Troop 2154 is on track to meet a sky-high goal of 10,000 packages, with support from local residents. The 17-member troop is led by Leslie Schumann, who said she relies on key volunteer support this time of year from "cookie moms" Brandi Moreland and Jenny Martinez.

The troop plans to use their earnings for camp and other outdoor activities, as well as a trip to San Francisco in April – where the fifth graders will "bridge" to Cadettes, the next program level of Girl Scouting for grades 6-8. The girls will also donate funds to a local charity.
