- Troop 150 has a special love for animals.
- They believe in the mission of Octagon Wildlife Sanctuary, which cares for retired zoo animals, abused wildlife, and other animals that cannot survive alone in the wild.
- Troop 150 chose to support Octagon Wildlife Sanctuary in Punta Gorda for their 2019 Take Action project.
- As a surprise to the Octagon staff, the girls spent $150 of their cookie program proceeds to purchase a Home Depot gift card, shovel, rake, and yard sprayer to help take care of the animals.
- Each one of the girls in Troop 150 shared information with their individual classrooms, urging others to visit and support the organization.
- Subsequently, one classroom researched all of the animals at Octagon, presented their research to their parents, and raised an additional $100 to donate to the cause!
- Troop 150 urges everyone to visit Octagon Wildlife Sanctuary and see the good work done there.
- The girls of Troop 150 filmed a video to spread the word about Octagon and why it’s so important to them.
