Junior troop 41707 of North Bend joined forces this year on a shared project to earn their Bronze Awards.

Girl Scout Juniors Gwynneth Buckton, Emily Dickinson, Alie Hall, Molly Hall, Rebekah Kramer and Brooklyn Tonie created handmade dog and cat blankets along with cat toys for the Seattle Humane Society in Bellevue.

They also had help from Girl Scouts Alexandra Buckton (Troop 43671) and Kiera Buckton (Troop 44301).

The Girl Scout Bronze Award is the highest honor a Girl Scout Junior, for girls in fourth or fifth grade, can receive. To earn the award, each girl had to complete 20 hours of work on their projects.
