By SARA HERSCHANDER of The Chronicle of Philanthropy (Chronicle of Philanthropy) NEW YORK (AP) — Once a week in a midtown Manhattan hotel, dozens of Girl Scouts gather in a spare room made homey by string lights and children’s drawings. They earn badges, go on field trips to the Statue of Liberty, and learn how to navigate the subway in a city most have just begun to call home. They are the newest members of New York City’s largest Girl Scout troop.
