EXPLANATION: The Girl Scout Bronze Award is the third-highest award in Girl Scouts, and the highest honor a Girl Scout Junior can earn, challenging girls to work together to make a lasting difference in their community.
For their project, Troops 24241 and 20183 chose to give back to the outdoor spaces they love, including the Wellington Environmental Preserve (Section 24). After learning about native trees and their importance to local ecosystems, the girls worked with the Village to identify an area of the Preserve where they could make a lasting impact. Indian Trails Native Nursery donated eleven (11) trees and the girls cared for the trees until they were planted at the Preserve. A plaque marks the area so the girls and the community can watch them grow for years to come. This planting was part of a months-long environmental sustainability project that also included raising red mangrove propagules for shoreline restoration with Wild Blue Sea. Each Girl Scout dedicated over 30 hours to completing her Bronze Award Project.
