BOLTON, CT – Brownie Troops 10635 and 10636 in Bolton (about 40 second and third graders) are currently working on earning a First Aid Badge.  One of the requirements is to speak with a First Responder and Troop Leaders expressed that the girls were really interested in seeing an ambulance.

“On behalf of Brownie Troops 10635 and 10636, I would like to thank you for your teams for their time.  The girls really enjoyed asking questions and have gained a real appreciation for the responsibilities of First Responders. Thank you again.”

– Sue, Troop Leader
