The Machaloha Service Unit hosted its second annual Rope Runner Derby. Rope Runners are small wooden figures that the girls put together and decorate themselves. They race down a rope on a single wheel using weights for balance. 65 girls raced against each other for the title of Fastest Rope Runner and also competed for creative design awards.

Service Unit 631 organized 125 girls to make 50 no-sew fleece blankets. The girls were paired up as one younger girl and one older girl and worked together to make blankets. The blankets were donated to the Cardiology Department at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia to be handed out to patients.

Brownie Troop 1759 worked on their “It’s Your Story, Tell It” Journey by writing a letter to the Mayor of Boyertown and expressing interest in participating in a project to beautify Boyertown. The Mayor met with the girls and together they decided to plant flowers in an area outside of Borough Hall. Throughout the summer, girls also helped pull weeds and maintain the flower bed.

Junior Troop 671 completed their Bronze Award project by working with a nonprofit organization called Helping Hearts & Handbags. The troop collected and filled over 450 lightly used handbags with necessity and personal hygiene items to be handed out to women in homeless shelters throughout the community. They also filled an additional 52 zip-lock bags with necessity items they had collected.
