Members of Girl Scout Troop 750 have been doing some landscaping at the DeKalb Animal Coalition Shelter as they work toward earning their Silver Award.
“Darrah Ramsey, Katherine Gassaway, Layla Walker, Katie Patterson and Leah Hayes have been putting down some annual and perennial plants. They have put down the plastic, dug the holes, put the plants in and watered them, and put down the mulch. We also want to thank DeKalb Farmers Coop for donating a scoop of mulch to the animal shelter for the girls to put down,” said Joanie Williams, who is a Troop 750 Co-Leader with Amy Cripps.
The Silver Award is the second highest award of the Girl Scouts of the USA, and the highest award that a Girl Scout Cadette can earn.
“We are so happy to have these Girl Scouts out here helping us with all of this landscaping because everything done out here is pretty much done on a volunteer basis. If we didn’t have our volunteers I don’t know how we would manage. They always do a wonderful job,” said Marsha Darrah, President of the Coalition.
