Rina F., Gianna G., Shelby M., Beatriz S., Amanda T., Ava U., Syndey W., Elise C., Amelia C., Julia B., Yasmin H., Alana R., Kaitlyn R., and Abby R. chose to help their community by holding a donation drive to support Shelter Inc., which focuses on stopping the cycle of homelessness and helping provide everyday essentials to people in need. They hosted a "Pajama Party" for the other troops at Wagner Ranch asking the attendees to bring a donation item that might be used for an outing such as sunscreen, beach towels, flip-flops, and goggles. The girls planned and organized the activities for the party, then ran stations, served food, and led the younger girls in games and songs. The party was fun for everyone, and the troop collected over 85 items.
