Cadette Girl Scout Troop 15209 has earned their Silver Award! The three 8th graders (Mackenzie Brown, Hasini Edupuganti, Evelyn Williams) have been in the same troop since first grade and decided to work on their Silver Award together. The girls chose to improve the outdoor space of a local elementary school serving low-income students. With supplies purchased with funds from their cookie sales, they built, painted, and installed two benches; built two soccer goals; and painted four existing benches. They also spread mulch on the playground area and helped plant and weed a garden. The school’s students use the benches, soccer goals, garden, and (less muddy) playground often. The girls of Girl Scout Troop 15209 are now looking forward to working on their Gold Award, the highest award a Girl Scout can earn.
