TRINITY LUTHERAN TROOPS

Trinity Lutheran Troops participated in National Public Lands Day at Riverwalk Park in Rockledge , on Sept . 30 , 2017 . This was our Troop ’ s 7th straight year of participating in National Public Lands Day .
Trinity Lutheran Troops have participated in the Keep Brevard Beautiful Coastal Clean-up for the past 6 years , but it was cancelled this year , because of Hurricane Irma . So instead , on Oct . 7 , 2017 , we attended one of Keep Brevard Beautiful regular monthly Beach Cleanup events at Cherrie Down Park in Cape Canaveral . The girls picked up many pounds of trash , as well as debris left behind by Hurricane Irma . Our Troops definitely left the beach better than we found it that day !
