Animal Shelter Bronze Level Take Action -
Change the way they think about how they investigate needs at an agency.
ASK THE RIGHT QUESTIONS
If the girls visit a shelter ask what they "need" they will probably hand you a list of needed items to collect.

Teach younger kids, peers or adults about the need and have them make the items at an event planned by the girls.
