Troop 16 is very passionate about helping animals and when it came to deciding what to do with their cookie proceeds, they knew it would be something to help both endangered animals and shelter animals. For endangered animals, each girl chose a threatened species to "adopt" through the World Wildlife Fund. For shelter animals, the girls voted to sponsor one dog kennel and one cat condo at the ARLGP for 6 months each.
The troop also made many rope toys for the dogs, cat wands, some things for the critters, and purchased items from their wish list to donate. They went for a visit to the ARLGP in June to drop off more than six boxes of donations, tour the shelter and learn a little more about what they do, and of course, visit the animals!
