Girl Scout troop earns award
Girl Scout Troop 4018 completed their Silver Award at the Cadette level last spring, by refurbishing a tree cross-section that hangs on the side of the Mount Roberts Tramway Nature Center.
They learned about trees and tree growth, counted the rings, researched events in Alaska history, and worked with Commercial Signs and Printing for several months to create a display that will help educate visitors about Alaska history and trees in our rainforest.
