Westlake Troop Organizing Supply Drive for Animal Shelter

Silver award is highest a girl scout can earn.

Members of Westlake Girl Scout Troop 70285 are hoping to earn a silver award -- the highest award a Girl Scout Cadette can earn -- in part by holding a Supply Drive for the Berea Animal Shelter.

This past weekend, animal lovers from the area came out in droves to support the girls’ mission.

“Many generous animal loving people came and generously donated over 496 items for the shelter,” Nicole Sauer, whose daughter Alexis, is one of the scouts hoping to earn her Silver Award.
