Troop 664 meets at the Pinson Community Center, which has a large grassy area lined with trees. There isn’t any seating for visitors to sit and enjoy the shade. The girls decided to make benches for visitors to sit on while they’re at the community center.
The girls upcycled wood pallets into benches, which were donated to the city of Pinson for use at the Pinson Community Center. The girls completed their project in the late fall of 2014.
The Girl Scouts of North-Central Alabama Council approved the girls’ award on Feb. 26.
