Junior Girl Scout Troop 2177 recently celebrated their
Bronze Award with a weekend trip to Woodloch Pines. Their Bronze Award
addressed the issue of “Keeping Girls Healthy in Lynbrook.” They investigated
various sports teams that girls could join in their neighborhood, created a
brochure, presented their findings and distributed the brochure at a PTA
meeting. They also learned about healthy eating and cooking. This past April,

How are others affected but this issue? How are they working to solve this problem? Making sure that we have achieved the global component of our Gold Award is important, but it is often the most neglected piece our project.
