CRESTVIEW — Brooke Williams, a Girl Scout Junior in Crestview Troop 738, is advancing to Cadette status on Oct. 1.
But this week, she was doing her part to make a difference in the community. On Monday, Brooke picked up litter along the route to Shoal River Middle School and Riverside Elementary School.
Brooke, who attends Florida Virtual School Full Time, wanted to make the area cleaner for kids walking to school and for parents attending upcoming open houses at the schools. The cleanup also will help keep wild animals safe.
It was Brooke's last task required to earn the Bronze Award, a Girl Scout Junior's highest achievement.
