For the 6th year, go-getters in Troop 11031 led the way with their troop's end of year school Desk Educational Cleanout Opportunity (DECO) Take Action project. Since they were graduating, the girls trained Troop 10304 to take over the project. All the not used or gently used school supplies from both teachers and students were collected then donated to organizations serving children in need. These G.I.R.L.s donated over 28 cases of school supplies!
30 G.I.R.L.s and adults participated in a Summer Funshine Take Action project, a beach clean-up, at South Beach Park in Fort Pierce. The Manatee Observation and Education Center provided clean up supplies as well as awards - plush Moe the Manatee toys - for the largest amount of trash, the smallest piece of trash and the most unusual piece of trash (which happened to be a wig).
