For our troop’s Silver Award this year, we decided to revitalize the greenhouse at Douglass Valley Elementary school, which had been vandalized. The greenhouse was built a few years ago by the older brother of one of our troop members for his Eagle Scout project. When it was vandalized last summer, with the side dented and beds overturned, we saw an opportunity to help.
Our troop not only fixed the greenhouse, but we also improved the usability of the space in and around it so that it will continue to benefit the science program of Douglass Valley Elementary, as it was originally intended.
