These girls are full of energy, fun, loving,
and willing to help nature! They are always ready
to learn and help the community! Troop 30128’s girls selected the
project of making stepping stones for Tule Ponds, a wildlife
sanctuary and water restoration site. When kids and visitors walk in
the area they should understand its significance without a tour
guide. That is why the girls decided to make stepping stones that
provide information while leading you to the different parts of Tule
Pond. The girls have designed and built butterfly hopscotch,
different animals, and the Hayward Fault zone describing stepping
stones! Their troop has enjoyed doing all the research, learning,
and making the stepping stones. In the process they learned team
building, accommodating other group members, leadership, and price
comparisons.
