Bronze Award Spotlight: "Little Free Library for St. Luke's United Methodist Church"

Girl Scout Juniors Addison, Aubrey, Ava G., Ava K., Brooke, Charlotte, Isabella, Jocelyn and Maeve of Troop 1325 of SU 150 in Yorktown recently earned their Bronze Award by completing a project they titled, "Little Free Library for St. Luke's United Methodist Church." To get started, the Girl Scouts worked together to plan and organize a community book drive and collected hundreds of donated books to get the library off to an amazing beginning! Once the books were collected, the Girl Scouts worked together to install the library at St. Luke's United Methodist Church. The girls decided on this location because of the church's support of past troop activities and meeting, the on-site preschool, as well as family foot traffic from the church's food pantry. They knew this location would help them make a great impact!

Troop leader Sheena Moberg said, "These amazing Girl Scouts learned how they can make a difference to so many in the community. They used many skills from the proposal process, project implementation, the book drive, and community outreach. They are proud to have seen this project go from the planning stages to seeing the finished project and the impact it can have on the community. Little Free Libraries are a long-lasting, sustainable way to provide books to kids, families and neighbors for years to come."

This project will be on going as the troop plans to responsible for the upkeep and maintenance of the Little Free Library.

Congratulations, Troop 1325!
