The 5th-grade Junior Girl Scouts of Troop 10069 have successfully earned their Bronze Award and are excited to share their project with the community. Their goal was to support animals and raise community awareness. As part of their project, they partnered with local businesses in Leonardtown to create a map featuring pet-friendly establishments—making it easier for patrons to identify which patios welcome pets. The map also includes helpful details such as trail lengths for dog walking and the locations of pet waste stations.
