Stratford Girl Scout Designs No-Sew Cat Toy For Silver Award

Stratford resident Thea Tantral-Johnson has combined her dedication to Girl Scouts and her love for animals in her Silver Award project, Create for Cats. Thea joined Girl Scouts as a kindergartener and has been an active member for nine years with Troop #37470. She wants to be a veterinarian and is attending Trumbull High School’s Agriscience program.
