Parks: First Girl Scout troop to take over the care, maintenance, and development of a city, county,...
...state, or national public park or roadside rest area. The troop takes over all expenses and ownership of the park or rest area from the government body that presently owns it and runs it as a free public park or roadside rest area. [If the Girl Scout troop does this, receives no government funding, and lets the local public know it is doing it without government assistance, the troop should be able to sell even more Girl Scout cookies every year, especially to local garden lovers and Tea Party members. The park or roadside rest area will also become a great source of pride for the troop and will make its members feel like they are really helping society and the planet.
