GSEM Silver Award Project Catalog

Path Cleanup of San Luis Subdivision

Project Details: Knowing the importance of accessibility, and including the ability to get to different parts of a neighborhood easily, Cadettes from Troop 4049 decided to clear a pathway in the San Luis subdivision to earn their Girl Scout Silver Award. The Girl Scouts discovered one of the pathways in the neighborhood had overgrown weeds and honeysuckle, trash and other hazardous items blocking the path. To make the path more accessible, the Cadettes got to work deweeding the area and cleaning up the waste. Afterwards, they contacted a local lawn care company who has agreed to maintain the path.

Issue: A subdivision pathway needed beautification and accessibility.

Root Cause: Overgrown weeds and honey suckle, trash, and hazardous items led to an unusable pathway. No one was assigned to take care of the pathway.

Target Audience: The San Luis neighborhood.

Sustainability: A local lawn care company now takes care of the pathway.
