This quest was created by Senior Girl Scout Samantha Stutz as a Girl Scout Gold Award project. Eileen Pierce designed the badge. Consult the Girl Scout handbook to determine which badges this quest satisfies.  If you are a Boy Scout, check out http://www.meritbadge.com for badge activities that can be completed by doing this walking tour.
