The Girl Scouts planned the breakfast as a part of their Bronze Award Project. They focused their Bronze Award on showing community appreciation. The girls shared their appreciation by spending time with the seniors, sending gifts to a local soldier stationed overseas, and sharing the breakfast items with first responders. The girls were awarded the Bronze Award at the Court of Awards on June 10.
