The Scouts of Troop 42 are girls in grades K-5 who were adopted from China and other Asian countries. The troop is based in Indianapolis but welcomes girls from surrounding communities. We usually meet once per month year-round, typically on the third Sunday. Our kick off meeting in August at Camp Dellwood was a smashing success and our participation at the city wide Chinese Festival in September was rewarding, exciting and fun. We may even get some pictures up on this web site soon.

Our October meeting are will be a semi informal meeting at the pumpkin patch, November will find us making gingerbread houses and in December we will be watching the splendor that is Disney on Ice! After the new year, alot of plans are in the hopper - kite making, a camp out and a visit to the State Museum to learn about the Girl Guides of Hong Kong with a special tour of the exhibit just for Troop 42. Always check the FCC-IN Event calendar for the latest update in Troop 42 meetings. They will be highlighted in green. Sometimes meetings can be more informal and low key - we meet at locations in Indy and surrounding communities, depending upon the activity, break into small groups, and have parent/experts share their knowledge of particular subjects.

You may be asking; "How is Troop 42 different from my daughter’s school troop?" Here is the answer: Troop 42 is a great way for your daughter to maintain her cultural ties and to develop friendships with other girls adopted from China. Our mission is to educate troop members about Asian cultures through traditional Girl Scout activities and programs. The girls have learned about Asian festivals, Panda conservation, and even visited Chinatown in Chicago. We include non-Asian activities in our programs also, like Theatre and Horseback Riding. Our troop encourages giving back to the community. We gave GS cookies to the Indy Children’s Guardian Home, sponsored a deaf orphan in China for a year, made a donation toward the snow emergency in China earlier this year, and collected money for the recent China earthquake victims.

On Friday September 19th, The Chinese American Museum of Chicago suffered a devastating fire. Most of the museum's permanent collections, including 23 historic dioramas, antique embroidered wall hangings and a Peking Opera costume, were lost in the blaze. Most of the items in the museum came from local residents, whose ancestors brought the objects when they immigrated to the U.S. Some items came from Indiana families; some from FCC IN families. This museum has opened their hearts to our organization and to Troop 42 many times in the past. To find out how to make a donation, please do so here .
