Girl Scout Troop 591 Keeps on Giving

7/23/2011 UPDATE!!

On June 9th all the girls from GS Troop 591 received their Bronze Award!!

Well deserved!


5/24/2011 - After the girls of Troop 591 completed their volunteer requirements to earn their badge, they’ve continued to help the Humane Society because (they tell us) they feel their assistance is going to a cause they believe in – and because helping with the pets at an adoption event is FUN!
Composed of 5th and 6th graders, the troop’s volunteers donated over $500 worth of pet and shelter supplies through their own individual donations, from donations solicited from Bushkill Boarding, and from class mates at Bushkill Elementary and Lehman Intermediate schools.

“It is so rewarding to see what the girls are getting from their experiences, the pride they show in helping, and their enthusiasm with the pets,” noted a shelter volunteer involved in helping to set up the scouts’ participation. “Their leaders and involved parents are very instrumental in giving the girls this opportunity, and we are grateful to them as well,” the volunteer concluded.

Groups interested in becoming involved in gathering donations, helping out at the shelter or events should contact the Humane Society at pikecountyhs@gmail.com or by calling the shelter and leaving contact information so we can get in touch.
