Dayton Girl Scouts Make a Difference at Carson River Clean Up!

On Saturday, September 18, eight girls from Dayton Troop 152 participated in the Carson River Clean Up sponsored by the Bureau of Land Management and the Carson City Kiwanis. These eight Juniors and Cadettes worked alongside many other community volunteers cleaning up litter along the river as well as assisted an adult leader with putting out an abandoned campfire. For their quick action, these girls will be honored at the Comstock Service Unit's Investiture Ceremony on November 15. These Girl Scouts worked hard in the rising temperatures.and learned a lot about the negative impact people are having on their environment and what they can do to help make the world a better place.
