Outdoors in the City

As our final outing for the school year, the troop headed to Washington Park to earn their Outdoors in the City badge. Only the girls that have decided to remain with the troop for another year joined in the activity. We will miss the other 7, but understand time constraints can make demands on activity options. The troop had a great evening. The girls enjoyed a picnic dinner and discussed the abundance of outdoor activities they could enjoy this summer in Springfield. After dinner the girls walked around the park picking up trash.

Girl Scout cookies make the best snack!

To complete the badge work, each girl took home some flowers to plant as well as the bags of tea to make sun tea.
