Members of Girl Scout Troop #21045 recently installed signs that they designed and paid for at John D. MacArthur Beach State Park to make the park easier for visitors to navigate.
Led by Troop Leader Susan Borland, the troop purchased plant signs to accompany the park’s self-guided plant brochure. The plant signs will help visitors easily identify and learn about the native plants along the Dune Trail.
“The girls’ hard work and dedication to this project have earned them the Girl Scout Bronze Award,” said Ms. Borland, in a prepared staetment. “I am extremely proud of the girls and their accomplishments.” The Bronze Award is the highest honor a Girl Scout Junior can achieve.
“They are a wonderful group of girls that possess all of the greatest qualities of Girl Scouts: leadership, cooperation, ambition and concern for the environment,” said Cheryl Houghtelin, executive director of the Friends of MacArthur Beach State Park. “It has been a pleasure to work with them.”
