GREEN BAY, WI -- Girl Scout mother Elizabeth Steffel held a fundraiser for the three Girl Scouts and scout parent who were killed when they were struck by a pickup as they picked up trash Nov. 3 in the Chippewa Falls area. Steffel said she was fired from her job as Girl Scouts leader because she held the fundraiser.

According to multiple reports, Steffel, a leader of Girl Scout Troop 4029 in Green Bay, was suspended from her role Monday by the Girl Scouts of the Northwestern Great Lakes Council. In early November, Steffel worked with Wisconsin troop leaders to set up a fundraiser for the families of those who were killed. "We also wanted to do something that would honor them or that would memorialize them, because thisis big," she said in a WBAY report. "They died while doing service. Girl Scouts is all about doing service to others and helping the community, and they died doing that."

Local Girl Scouts leaders, including Steffel, created a special merit patch, held a candlelight vigil and raised money that was hand-delivered to the families of those who lost loved ones on that day, according to reports. Steffel's fundraiser was posted on Facebook and gained attention from people around the world. "I posted about it online, and suddenly I was getting messages from people in Texas and Canada and Oklahoma and Tennessee who thought it would be nice if we all did it at the same time," said Steffel.

But all was not well, especially with Girl Scout leadership. Steffel
