They wanted to give back to their church for letting them meet in one of the rooms and wanted to help beautify for Easter services.
Girls from Troop 173 put on a carnival for the clients of the Society for Disabled Children in Bakersfield. The girls manned game booths, snacks, prizes, and also had two photo booths.

P ets were available for adoption, and local Girl Scouts distributed flyers to dog owners about ways to help keep their pets safe and stress-free on the Fourth of July.
