On April 6, 2010, several of the local Girl Scout Troops volunteered a few hours to the Pecos County Memorial Hospital Auxiliary. Each troop, from the Brownies to the Juniors, had a designated area where they put in plants, flowers, mulch and rocks in the newly built Memorial Garden on the South side of Pecos County Memorial Hospital.
"After moving in to the new Pecos County Memorial Hospital Auxiliary Gift Shop and Pantry in 2001, members of the auxiliary began discussing the possibility of developing a memorial garden outside the window adjacent to the gift shop in memory of past members." From the Fort Stockton Pioneer
After many years of fundraisers and donations the project is due for completion in the next few months. These Girl Scouts have graciously agreed to help maintain the gardens in efforts to help "focus on developing knowledge about the West Texas ecosystem, a concern for conservation through critical thinking skills, provide new skills in wild-scaping, plant and wildlife identification along with the historical and cultural heritage of Fort Stockton."
