Girl Scouts Give Garden to William Mason Community

In September, fourth grade Girl Scout Troop 1927 decided to do a service project to commemorate 100 years of Girls Scouts. They decided to plant a “giving tree” for the William Mason community. 

The idea of the Giving Tree came from the book The Giving Tree, written by Shel Silverstein. Over the year, this idea grew into a small sitting garden for the community to share, gather, or unwind .

They raised money towards this effort by selling Girl Scout nuts, magazines and cookies. Other William Mason troops purchased engraved bricks expressing well wishes to celebrate this centennial anniversary.

Thursday, these same troops came together for a candlelight ceremony to commemorate this event and the service project. Next year, the troop plans to decorate the tree for the holidays and hopes that future troops will continue this tradition.
