Cranford Girl Scout Troop 311 of Washington Rock Girl Scout Council is currently working on prerequisite steps leading up to their Gold Awards. 

The Gold Award is the Girl Scout equivalent of the Boy Scout Eagle Scout Award.  One prerequisite requirement is earning specific badges which reflect the goals of the Girl Scout Law.   

Troop 311 chose the Plant Life badge which reflects their respect and dedication to the environment. The Hyatt Hills management provided the perfect opportunity for the girls to get started. On Saturday October 13th the girls set out to plant shrubs on the corner of the property located at Walnut Ave & Raritan Rd.  The shrubs spell out "H H" for The Hyatt Hills Golf Complex.

Pictured are Brooke Capasso, Leah Crane, Kathleen French, Dena Leonelli, Mary Kate Ryan, and Mary Ushay.  The girls are freshmen at CHS and hope to attain their Gold Awards during their Junior year. 

A plaque with recognition of Girl Scout Troop 311 volunteerism in planting the visual display will be posted at the corner.
