Making the world a better place...

On Friday, November 16, Brownie Troop 3607 took supplies to the Midwestern Children's Home in Pleasant Plain, Ohio. While there, they shared lunch with Mr. Scott Huston, who explained the purpose of the home. Following lunch, the troop did a service project out on the children's playground, filling worn holes under each swing with mulch.
