Delaware Nature Society One more fan note from Girl Scout Troop 4424! Hannah Church wrote: Ashland Nature Center is so slick because you can go see butterflies in a big, huge cage. You can also go see a river. We went and me and my friend caught fish. It was totally awesome!

Delaware Nature Society We recently asked Girl Scout Troop 4424, based at New Garden Elementary, about their experience on an overnight program. Here's what Shannon said: I went to Ashland Nature Center with my troop. It was so much fun. We went on a night hike. In the morning we had pancakes and did a craft. Later we went to the stream. We ...caught bugs and fish and threw them back. "That was fun," I said to my mom as we were driving home.
