On May 26 a Girl Scout Daisy Troop proudly gave back to their Hawthorne community. Troop 304 has been holding their weekly meetings at Shell Elementary School during the school year.

The troop has been learning about the Girl Scout Law by earning "Daisy Petals." The Rose Petal represents "Making the World a Better Place," and the girls thought they could do just that by planting a flower garden.

Shell Elementary had just recently installed a new marquee sign in front of the school. This presented the perfect opportunity for the girls to put the Girl Scout Law into action.  Thanking the school for allowing the troop to hold meetings there and to dress up the area around the newly installed sign, the girls planted a colorful flower garden.

A local Hawthorne business, Blue Star Nursery on US Highway 301, donated the flowers for the project. Daisy Troop 304 planted the flowers, mulched the entire area and then presented the garden to Shell Elementary Principal Denise Schultz.
