Girl Scout Troop 28842 in Middlesex Township worked together to create an outdoor recreation area for the Middlesex Township Volunteer Fire Company fire station and were thanked with a cookout Thursday evening.

The troop's projects included providing and painting two picnic tables, painting cornhole boards and yard dice, doing landscaping and lighting around the entrance sign, and painting a mural inside the station where new members can add their names.

Troop leader Kristin Wilson said the project is part of the troop's Silver award, a community service project that Girl Scouts work together on as a group in sixth, seventh or eighth grade.
