The scouts at Colony Meadows asked their Principal Eugene Dupont if they could have a canned food drive and he agree. The girls collected over 300 canned and boxed items. “Character education is very important at Fort Bend Independent School District. These girls showed leadership abilities in organizing the drive and collecting the items. They made poster and did announcements. It’s wonderful to see 3rd grade students get active in the community,” said Mr. Dupont.

Brownie Girl Scout Troop #29170 participated in a year-long service project. Dickinson Elementary in Greatwood collects used drink pouches to be recycled. Instead of having kids throw away all those Capri-Sun, Kool Aid and other drink pouches in the trash, they put them in a specified can where every two weeks, Troop 29170 empties the can, removes the straws, squeezes out any left-over juice and wraps them in stacks to be recycled. It’s a dirty job but….it’s helping our school be green!
