Thanks Troop 4602!
Nine Junior Girl Scouts from troop 4602 have completed all requirements needed to earn their Girl Scout Bronze Award. The Bronze Award is the highest award a Junior Scout can receive. For their Bronze Award service project, the 5th grade Junior Scouts from Dardenne Elementary School, made fleece blankets to donate to the Heartland Humane Society. Angie Tollefson, President of the Heartland Humane Society said, “We were overwhelmed by the generosity of the Girl Scouts of Troop 4602. These blankets will help enhance the lives of hundreds of pets while they wait for their forever homes. Our volunteers really appreciate the time and effort that they put into making them.”
The girls of Troop 4602 were presented with certificates and award pins by Jennifer Thomas, Neighborhood 5 Chairperson and Liz Mainord, Membership Development Manager with the Girl Scouts of Eastern Missouri at the April 15th District 14, Neighborhood 5 Leader Meeting. The girls also presented the 122 blankets that they made to Juli Stevens, a representative for Tollefson who was unable to attend the awards ceremony. Bronze Award recipients are: Alyssa Drew, Cassandra Jordan, Emily Reedy, Jaime Ketterer, Stephanie Laws, Jasmine Amerin, Kendall Douglas, Rebekah Blatt, and Taylor Hausman. Their leader is Carol Robison.
