  1. Girl Scouts:

  The Girl Scout troops from Eden presented two ideas to help earn their next badge: building a “Little Free
  Library” and creating a community first aid kit to be located at Swartz Field. Both items would be built and
  painted by the Girl Scout troops, initially stocked by the troops, and then maintained and replenished by the

  their request.
