Troop 4815 - Bryant
Four
Junior Girl Scouts from Troop 4815 earned their Bronze Award by
spedning 20+ hours building new benches and a stage at Bull frong at
Camp Tapawingo. They felt the old benches were uncomfortable and
unsafe. They chose a deisgn that was both durable and versatile. The
stage is built for summer camp attendees who perform songs and skits
for their families and friends before they officially leave from
their week at camp. Having the stage will give the girls a safe and
dseignated space for this activity.
