Laura McGee Reyno | Troop Leader, SU Treasurer, SU Recruitment Chair | Troop 3560 | SU 342
Laura is in her second year as a Girl Scout troop leader and has already made a big impact. This year, she expanded her troop to welcome even more girls to the Girl Scout experience. Laura also serves on the service unit committee, where she focuses on recruitment and managing finances as treasurer.

She truly embodies the Girl Scout mission of making the world a better place and being a sister to every Girl Scout.
