Butterfly Garden for Silver Awards
Head on over to California's Inland Valley Daily Bulletin and read a story about two Girl Scouts working to improve the conditions at a local shelter that provides temporary housing and assistance to homeless families and their children. To acquire the Girl Scout Silver Award - which is the second highest award in the Girl Scouts - Veronica Osborn, 15, and Camille Goodwin, 13, spent a recent Saturday planting a drought friendly butterfly garden for residents and their children staying in the building. The award requires the girls - who are in Troop 12164 - to complete three projects for the community. The garden was the girls' main project.
