Girl Scouts of Eastern Washington and Northern Idaho is hoping the region will jump on board and donate during the first ever Idaho Gives campaign.

Idaho Gives is a 24 hour giving campaign sponsored by the Idaho Nonprofit Center. The event gives donors the opportunity to give to any of the 531 participating non profits across Idaho. For every $10 donation made groups will be entered to win a Golden Ticket prize. The more donors that GSEWNI gets, the more chances they have to win prize money.

Groups have also been divided by size into three separate scoreboards. Each scoreboard carries an additional $5,000 worth of prize money that will be divided between the top five money raisers at the end of the day. Idaho Gives also features an Everybody Wins Award, this award takes a general pool of money and divides it by the percentage if the total raised. For example, if Girl Scouts raises one percent of the total for the entire campaign, then they receive one percent of the Everybody Wins Award.

Spring is in the air in more ways than one. Yesterday morning four goslings took their first leap from the nest.

The gosling eggs were laid in the osprey nest at Memorial Field. The osprey cam caught the mother goose laying her first egg on March 19th. She then returned over multiple days until she had laid an entire clutch. The goslings hatched live on osprey cam on Monday, April 22nd.

Yesterday morning the little geese bravely followed their parents and made the 100 foot drop off the nesting landing. Unfortunately, as they made their way to water, they were attacked by another male goose and one little gosling didn't survive. It was, however, recovered and given a proper burial by a lady who lives near the field.
