April Service Project: Bees, Butterflies, and Me



Earth Day Service Event


Date: April 24 1-3 pm

Location: Scottsdale Ranch Park

Description: At this event, your Girl Scout will support local flora and fauna by starting milkweed plants, building bee houses, painting water bowls, and learning how to identify invasive plants. At the end of the day, Girl Scouts will bring home their crafts to plant at either their school or home. This will help all animals in our area by increasing sources of food and water for Monarch butterflies, native bees, and local reptiles. 

Volunteers: Older Girl Scouts will be needed to help facilitate the activities.

Please sign up your troop here.

February Service Project: Treasures for Teachers


Join Troop 4312 in cleaning out your house and donating items to Treasures 4 Teachers! 

Last year, we had amazing donations for Treasures 4 Teachers.  


For 2022, items can be dropped off at one of the following locations:


Kelley Hurley’s house 

Text to confirm drop off availability. 

Once confirmed, ring door bell and will open the garage to help unload. 


Liz Sinkwitz’s House

Text to confirm drop off availability.  This is a gated community and you must be put on list to enter.  


Check for email from Pima Neighborhood for addresses


Please wear a mask when assisting with moving pieces from your vehicle.


Be sure to complete the http://tinyurl.com/PimaServiceReport in order for your girls to receive their patch.


Our schools and teaching staff have worked hard over the past year to provide an education to our children despite all the chaos happening around us.  Teachers often pay out of their own pocket for supplies to finish outfitting their classrooms or to prepare for special projects.  Treasures 4 Teachers gathers new and slightly used supplies from across the valley to help teachers have the resources they need to excel.  Anyone who works closely with students can have access to a wide selection of materials, resources and training that will enhance and expand the learning process. T4T is a donation-based operation.
