Parks: First Girl Scout troop to take over the care, maintenance, and development of a city, county,...

...state, or national public park or roadside rest area.  The troop takes over all expenses and ownership of the park or rest area from the government body that presently owns it and runs it as a free public park or roadside rest area.  [If the Girl Scout troop does this, receives no government funding, and lets the local public know it is doing it without government assistance, the troop should be able to sell even more Girl Scout cookies every year, especially to local garden lovers and Tea Party members.  The park or roadside rest area will also become a great source of pride for the troop and will make its members feel like they are really helping society and the planet.

And the troop literally is to take over ownership of the park or roadside rest area.  The park is to no longer be government owned, but owned by the Girl Scout troop(s).  The troop must be given over the property with as little restrictions as possible.  If they want to set up for-profit food and/or merchandise booths in their park or roadside rest area to help bring in revenue to maintain and develop it, that must be their right.  For example, a permanent Girl Scout Cookie booth or vending machine.  By giving ownership over to the troop, they have a vested interest in its success.]
