"Girl Scout Troop Forced to Disband Over Gaza Fundraiser Controversy"

A Missouri Girl Scout troop's bracelet-making fundraiser for children in Gaza was halted and threatened with legal action by regional scout leaders, sparking outrage and prompting the troop to disband from the national organization. The troop's leader, Nawal Abuhamdeh, expressed disappointment with the Girl Scouts' response and emphasized the girls' desire to help children in need. Despite the controversy, the fundraiser gained widespread support, leading to a surge in bracelet orders and raising over $10,000 with the help of public volunteers.
