Lafayette Elementary Troop 32851 recently earned their Bronze Award, the highest award a Junior Girl Scout can achieve! The troop of 13 fifth-grade girls hosted an Earth Day event in coordination with the Lafayette Elementary School spring campus cleanup day. The event included multiple display booths and activities that offered students and local scouts a hands-on opportunity to learn about three key conservation values: Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle. The booths included information about water pollution, debris accumulation in the North Pacific Gyre, how to make tote bags out of old T-shirts, tips for water conservation, composting, and how to separate trash from recyclables. The displays were fun and engaging, including a simulated wildlife cleanup using rubber duckies. The girls will receive their Bronze Award certificate and pin during the Lafayette Girl Scouts 2014 Awards Ceremony at the Acalanes Performing Arts Center on Friday, May 30.
