Girl Scout Troop 30228 members Haley Hartman and Emma Bennett earned their Silver Award this fall for repairing several picnic benches at Rancho Laguna Park. The girls, both freshmen at Campolindo High School, worked for more than 50 hours sanding, repairing, and refinishing the wooden structures. They organized bake sales to raise the money for the supplies needed to complete the work. The Silver Award is the second-highest award that can be earned in Girl Scouting. Haley and Emma have been involved in scouting for 10 years and will continue as scouts in high school.

"This is a great contribution to the community because the benches at Rancho Laguna are used almost every weekend," said Kimberly Nelson, Recreation and Facilities Coordinator, Moraga Parks and Recreation.
