Who Our Girl Scout troop, 15293, will be leading the process (finding volunteers, raising the rest of the money, and planning), and will be supervised by troop leaders Elizabeth "Liz" Renkert and Kristen Camacho. We plan on getting volunteers to help build the Gaga Pit through handing out flyers door to door and in school announcements. What We plan on building a Gaga Ball pit. Gaga Ball is an activity in which multiple people hit a large ball back and forth trying to hit each other. It's a competitive game that many camps have. The pit itself will be an octagonal wooden structure. Each side will have three 2"x10"x8' pressure treated lumber boards, giving it 30 inches (or 2'6") in total height. To hold the boards together will be steel brackets that can be bought online; and will have protective top rails for safety. Both can be bought online from gagaballpits.com. Where We are going to put the pit in North Commons park, close to the playground. If it's close to the playground then older kids can use it while still being able to see their younger siblings. A dog park was originally going to be put there so there is a lot of empty space. There are many houses near the park and plans for new development, so lots of people could potentially go. Why One problem the younger generation is that we tend to stay inside. Because of technology we stay in and play video games or just watch YouTube videos all day instead of playing soccer with our friends. Chances are preteens and teens don't want to slide down slides and go on monkey bars where their feet touch the ground. If we put this pit in it could potentially lead to more teens and preteens going to the park. It would not only get them outside, they would also be active. When So we can make sure that the ground is warm and that we will have all the money and materials we need, we plan on June. Right now, our two planned building days are 6/9/18 & 6/10/18. We also are going to have an opening day game tournament, this will inform people that it's there and what it is. That will be held on 6/16/18.
