Both Caroline and Michelle have been involved in Girl Scouts for ten years and both are members of Troop 2626. The girls were honored by the Smithtown Fire Department after they earned their Silver Award working on a project to help firefighters. The girls created and donated reusable neck cooler packs to be used for firefighter rehabilitation at the scene of an incident.
The Silver Award represents a girl’s accomplishments in Girl Scouting and her community. It is also the highest award for girls in scouting between the ages of 11 and 14.
Joanne T Grove, the mother of Caroline and Co-leader of troop 2626 was pleased with the recognition for the girls as well as their accomplishment. “ We’re very proud of their dedication to the Smithtown Community.”
