FULTON, Mo. - Earning patches is a big part of being a Girl Scout. That begins early with Daisy Troops - the youngest of troops usually aged in preschool or kindergarten - so Fulton troop leader Phyllis Garnett went online to find a patch her daisies might be interested in doing.

"They can earn a patch for adopting a soldier," Garnett said. "So I found a soldier from Fulton for them to adopt."

On Tuesday, the adopted soldier met the troop that had been sending him packages while earning that patch.
