Troop 2451 earns their Silver Award - the highest award a Girl Scout Cadette can earn - by donating 5 AEDs to the Arizona Cactus Pine Girl Scout Council last week. These AEDs will be placed in the Girl Scout camps enabling those with medical conditions the opportunity to experience the adventures of camp. The girls raised the monies for the AEDs and spent the last year earning 50 hours of community service each by educating and demonstrating how to perform hands-only CPR and how to use an AED. Our SCAA, East Valley-Phoenix chapter worked closely with the troop throughout the project monitoring and mentoring these amazing girls.
