Raleigh, N.C. - The North Raleigh Girl Scout Troop was excited to receive a thank-you note and pictures from the platoon leader who received care packages that the girls prepared for soldiers overseas. The packages were sent to the Second Platoon 561st Military Police Company currently stationed in Bayji, Iraq. Along with other goodies, the care packages contained Beanie Babies, which were given to a newborn infant from Kurdistan whose father works with the platoon as an interpreter.
