Elmore Troop #33838 is off to a great start raking in the town park. The weather may be chilly, and the skys cloudy with rain threatening, but the leaves are piling up and the pink bags filling as the girls and volunteers work together. As one new Daisy put it – ‘We gotta work hard. The fish can’t do the raking, so we get to!”
That’s the spirit! Sounds like a great group and troop there in Elmore!
Our troop marked storm drains and raked leaves in Lakeville. It was very fun, but very hard work! We were glad we helped nature here in Dakota County. Some brownies told us “Rakers coming through!!!” You could tell they were proud of themselves, and so were we.
Our Brownie troop raked and bagged leaves at the Hilde Performance Center in Plymouth!
Had a great day here on the west side of the metro. Raked leaves at local churches, schools and parks. All the girls felt like they made an effort to the community. Some girls even said that they wanted to do this again and some took bags and flyers home to help out their neighborhood!
We loved being part of the Centennial Day of Service in Rogers! We are excited that we got to help the community and we learned so much.
We had a GREAT day helping the town of Plymouth! So many hands to help, young and old! Everyone with smiles on, and energy to spare! Fun for all, and making the world a better place!
We had a great CDOS event on Saturday.. the rain held and got our storm drain markers down just in time in three neighborhoods in Medina. Raked many bags of leaves in Independence Beach, Hilltop school, Shirley Hills school and surrounding neighborhood, Church of St George–more bags to come as girls still wanted to continue raking and even marking!! Many door hangers distributed too!!
They celebrated in style afterward with lunch and pumpkin decorating,t-shirt designing, scrapbook page to remember the day. 15 troops stepped up and marked a day in GS history for River Valleys!!!
We had a great CDOS event We cleaned up Akin Park in Anoka MN. We cleaned up TONS and TONS of bags or leaves. So proud of my brownie troop and the adults who helped out. Even though it was raining, they keeped on going until the area we were responsible for was cleaned up.
