Troop 1220 Silver Award Project:
Marking Storm Drains in Townsend
Steps of Our Project
●Submit plan outline and get approved Our Troop presented the project to Townsend Council, and the project was approved
●Place storm drain markers We will use adhesive to stick the storm drain markers to the catch basin curbs in Townsend Village I, Townsend Village II, and Townsend Station. We will wear safety vests and place cones where we’re working.
●Make presentation/video for community impact We hope to make a strong and lasting impact on the community, by making a presentation and/or video to share, so we are able to spread the word to protect our environment
Why Our Project Matters
When litter goes down the drains it hurts our environment. When trash goes down the storm drains it then goes to our waterways and then hurts animals. Trash can look like food to animals and they could eat it or be tangled in it and get sick. Our project will encourage people not to litter down the storm drains to better our community.
Storm drain markers remind people not to litter down the drains. The Silver Award is the highest service award a Cadette Girl Scout can earn.
Timeline of Our Project
Through the months of April to June, we plan to go out as a Troop to place the markers. By the end of the school year we plan to have earned our Silver Award.
