Rose & Kayla Plant Trees for Their Silver Award


So, our scout of the day is Rose Resnick and Kayla George!

These two girls are from GSCNC Girl Scout Troop 5384 who did their Girl Scout Silver Award
planting trees at both Silver Spring International Middle School in Silver Spring Maryland and
Sligo Creek Elementary School in Silver Spring Maryland.

I will do a write up with what my girl scouts did when they helped out on this silver award project
(because we are a sister to every girl scout). We planted and watered Hermes at Sligo Creek Elementary
School where their traffic circle is. And well, you will have to come read that too (will link it up here)
when it goes up to find out why that is cool and special.

This is a photojournalism journey written by Jana Asher, the troop leader of both girls to share their
