Girls Earn Bronze Award! CONGRATULATIONS Lily, Clara, and Erica!



Bronze Awards
Girl Scouts of Eastern Pennsylvania are Making the World a Better Place!
The Bronze, Silver and Gold Awards are the highest honor a Girl Scout can receive. By achieving these awards girls learn to discover the world around them, connect with others and take action to make the world a better place. Our Girl Scout Juniors have been hard at work earning their Bronze Awards. Pictured left to right, Lily Palmer, Clara Domanska and Erica Bellamy of Girl Scout Troop 98 earned their Bronze Award for collecting stuffed animals to be donated to the Northern Home for Children in Roxborough and to the Stenton Family Manor, a shelter for families. The girls donated at least 20 hours of work to this cause. The Troop will have a ceremony soon to honor their work.
