Daisy Girl Scouts Clean Up Park Place







Dallesport Girl Scout Troop #3425 enthusiastically cleaned up Lyle Park Place during their March spring break. The girls picked up the litter in an effort to “make the world a better place.” Four bags of garbage were removed.

The kindergarten girls, all new to Girl Scouts, have been busy since September with various activities. This was their first community service project.

Olivia said, “I had a lot of fun today. The garbage on the ground made me feel bad, and I am happy that we picked it up.”

Emma reflected, “the garbage made us sad and not glad.”

The Troop is also selling Girl Scout cookies to fund future projects, including a field trip to Oaks Park in Portland and the Oregon Zoo. They look forward to future community service projects. If you are interested in buying cookies to support Troop efforts, please contact Troop Leader Lisa at 509-365-6828. If you want to buy cookies but don't want to eat them, you can purchase cookies and the girls will donate them to an organization or individual of your choice. Cookies are $4.00 a box.

Dear Girl Scouts,
Thank you so much for picking up the park. Your work helps us all remember to do a better job not throwing litter down and to take care of our community.

Those girls are setting a wonderful example for all our community members! Everyone who walks by or uses the park will enjoy it more now thanks to them.
