GIRL SCOUTS HELP

THE COMMUNITY

ANIMAL NETWORK

In order to earn their bronze award, Girl Scout Troop 132 is

helping rescued kitties get homes. For the 10- and 12-year-olds, the

bronze award is the highest achievement a junior Girl Scout can earn.

The troop selected the project because the girls love animals.

Ten-year-old Monica Rao is holding Doc, a tabby kitten whose

litter is named after some of the Seven Dwarf characters -- Sneezy,

Sleepy, Bashful and Doc.

The Girl Scout leader is Monica’s mother Linda Rao, who initiated

the idea. Community service work like this gives the kids a wonderful

experience that combines the project requirements with something they

love.
