No. R-203. House concurrent resolution congratulating the members of Troop 60336
of Milton on earning the Girl Scout Bronze Award.
                                         (H.C.R.168)
  Offered by Representatives Steady of Milton, Micklus of Milton, Morgan, L. of
Milton, Morgan, M. of Milton, and Taylor of Milton
   Offered by Senator Mattos
   Whereas, Girl Scout Troop 60336 of Milton, which is affiliated with the Girl Scouts of
the Green and White Mountains, annually applies the proceeds of its Girl Scout Cookie
Program sales toward a worthy community project that makes a real difference in the
town and demonstrates these girl scouts’ leadership, teamwork, and commitment to
helping others, and
   Whereas, most recently, Troop 60336 constructed and installed a rain barrel system at
the Milton Community Garden to create an easier and more accessible watering process,
and
   Whereas, the rain barrel is a container that collects rainwater and features a spigot at
the bottom; this alternative watering method eliminates the necessity of dragging a heavy
hose for a long distance, a more accessible option for persons with disabilities, and
   Whereas, a critical component of this project is a set of six raised garden beds
designed to support gardeners with disabilities or physical challenges, including persons
who are wheelchair users, and
   Whereas, registered Girl Scout Juniors who are enrolled in fourth or fifth grade and
complete a Junior Journey, such as Troop 60336’s community garden project, are eligible
for the Bronze Award, the highest honor for this age category of Girl Scouts, and
   Whereas, Troop 60336 members Cora-Lyn Fletcher, Josephine Herman, Alice Longo,
Harper Gaboriault, Jillian Thompson, Arya Frank, and Faith Owen are deservedly proud
recipients of the Girl Scout Bronze Award, in honor of their dedicated effort to develop
the rain barrel service at the Milton Community Garden, and Brownie Vivian Fletcher,
although not an award-eligible recipient, deserves special recognition for her
participation in this worthy endeavor, and
   Whereas, Troop 60336’s co-leaders Victoria Herman, Jamie-Lyn Fletcher, and Willow
Longo were essential for the success of this innovate initiative that will broaden the
accessibility of the Milton Community Garden, now therefore be it
  Resolved: That the General Assembly congratulates the members of Troop 60336 of
Milton on earning the Girl Scout Bronze Award, and be it further
   Resolved: That the Secretary of State be directed to send a copy of this resolution to
Girl Scout Troop 60336.
