A Bronze Award Project
In August of 2017, before the Girl Scouts of Troop 20117 started the project that would win them their Bronze Awards, you could not see or access the pavilion! Assisted by a couple of Brownie Girl Scouts from Troop 20209, a brother, and several parents, the girls cleared brush and weeds to make the pavilion usable once again. |
Do It Days
On November 9, 2019, after a lot of planning via phone calls and emails, a group of 30+ girls and adults, all volunteers, participated in the first Do It Day as Friends of Horton Hill. A trail to the Shumack Pavilion was cleared and the dream of another Day Camp grew. The pandemic cooled the enthusiasm of that first day, but once things settled down a bit, we were back at it and able to run our first Day Camp in 2022. Regular Do It Days are now scheduled in Fall and Spring. |
