Senator Steve Rhoads Welcomes Brownie Troop 3000 and Daisy Troop 3252 from Charles Campagne Elementary School in Bethpage to his District Office

To help the Scouts earn their Citizenship Badge, Senator Steve Rhoads led a lively discussion about what he does as a New York State Senator, how a bill becomes a law, and what the Scouts can do to help make our communities better. The Citizenship Badge recognizes their commitment to developing their understanding of their role as citizens and how they can contribute to their communities. Earning this badge encourages the girls to grow up to become active, engaged citizens in their communities, recognize their civic responsibility, as well as develop knowledge of local, state, and federal government. Earning this badge is a great way for girls to deepen their understanding of the world around them, and to become informed, vibrant members of the community. Senator Rhoads was happy to provide snacks and activity books for the Scouts. He thanked Troop Leader Kristen Schreiner for all her help in setting this meeting up and thanked the parents for providing young girls with the opportunity to learn valuable skills, build confidence, and develop their leadership abilities. Senator Rhoads looks forward to hosting the Brownie and Daisy Troop from Campagne Elementary School again in the near future.
