Cadette Troop 52 Select Chesed as Community Service Project

The girls of Cadette Scout Troup 52 were very excited about Chesed Rescue after delivering pet supplies to Chesed in February 2007. The girls decided they wanted to earn their "Adopt an Agency" patch and selected Chesed Rescue as their agency of choice. Basically, to earn the patch, the girls have to perform community service on three (3) different occasions with Chesed Rescue in a 12-month period.

According to their troup leader, Debbie Davis, when Chesed Rescue Director Bobbi Miller asked her if the girls would be willing to assist with the medical records at Boca Greens Animal Hospital, the troop was thrilled. This qualified for their second community service project.

" Two weeks ago, Bobbi mentioned to me a pillow project a Boy Scout Troop did in the past and indicated Chesed-Rescue could use more pillows. When I mentioned this to the girls they jumped on the idea and have already completed their planning for the 'pet pillow' project, " says Davis.

Currently, they are in the process of gathering donated t-shirts of all sizes and colors and pillow stuffing materials and aiming for December to donate the "pet pillows" by December. The girls are looking forward to continuing to work with Chesed-Rescue after they earn their "Adopt an Agency" badge.
