A great deed for children

Junior Girl Scout Troop 4780 earned a Bronze award – the
highest honor a Junior Girl Scout can achieve – for their recent
Jared Box Project that supplied gift baskets for children at local
hospitals, including the A.I. DuPont Hospital for Children. The boxes
were filled small gifts, toys, games and accessories. The goal of the
Jared Box Project is to lift the spirits of children in the hospital,
and to date, over 200,000 Jared Boxes have been delivered across the
United States. The scouts raised $105 for the cost of making the
boxes from New Garden Township residents. The troop was invited to
the Nov. 19 New Garden Township Board of Supervisors meeting, where
they recited the Pledge of Allegiance, and made a presentation about
their charitable project.
