Map of the United States earns Award for Girl Scouts

Troop leader Denise Martin said "After discussing several ideas we chose painting the map of the United States at the local elementary school, Boone Trail." The PTA was very enthusiastic and was a great resource in implementing our project. The stencil for the map was purchased by Boone Trail's PTA from Peaceful Playgrounds. The process involved laying down large stencils with dots outlining the state. "Then we connected the dots. It was pretty amazing to see that it actually worked," Martin said. The map of the United States is painted to scale. One foot equals 100 miles. Martin said the troop chose to paint Alaska to scale. When getting an up close look, Martin said that many people are amazed at how big Alaska really is in relation to the rest of the country. On the flip side they are surprised at how small Hawaii is. The paint is a durable outdoor paint that is used to paint parking lots, so it will be there for a while.
