Scouts tackle community projects on way to Bronze Award
May 5—Five scouts in Girl Scout Troop 7049 have their sights set on the bronze award. Troop Leader Crystal White the award, which is the highest honor a junior can achieve, requires a community project. The organization says this award teaches scouts "important leadership skills, and how seemingly small actions make a big difference."
"My project is to develop and build a butterfly and bee pollinator garden for the Rogers County Cherokee Association," said Erin Bowlby, a member of Troop 7049. "I would appreciate your generosity and help in achieving my Bronze award and supporting the Rogers County Cherokee Association."
For her project, Erin is in need of top soil, potting soil, weed barrier paper, metal border, mulch, and Cherokee native plants or pollinator plants.
Izzy White is focusing her efforts on pet adoption bags. As part of her project, Izzy is in need of: individual dog food packages, dog and cat toys, collars, leashes, brushes, treats and food bowls.
Savannah and Lillianna Long are putting together "blessing bags" that will be donated to the nonprofit organization Light of Hope. For the blessing bags, the duo is hoping to gather items like: Toothbrushes/toothpaste, hand sanitizer, travel-size Kleenex, mouthwash, deodorant, dental floss, soap, individually wrapped granola bars, fruit snacks, crackers and nuts.
Anyone interested in contributing to the projects should contact troop leader Crystal White at Crystalscleaning10@gmail.com
White said, "Anyone interested in helping the girls can donate items from their lists or make monetary donations via Paypal to go towards the project."
