Brick Girl Scouts Put Focus On Domestic Violence

Girl Scouts from Daisies on up to Senior Girl Scouts gathered at the Brick Township Reservoir earlier this month to raise awareness about domestic violence.

The Scouts also helped raise funds to help families who are escaping abusive situations, by gathering donations for Dottie’s House, a shelter and safe haven for victims of domestic violence. And they walked a 1.6-mile lap around the reservoir to say, ”Sock It To Domestic Violence,” organizers said.

More than 50 Scouts plus their leaders and family members participated in the awareness walk, and a member of Dottie’s House staff, Lisa Farnkopf, met with the group to thank the girls, organizers say.

The event was put together by the members of Troop 65 to give girls an opportunity to take action together for a great cause and a wonderful organization.
