Troop 124 was formed as a Brownie Troop in 1993 in Bolivia, N.C. Today there are six girls in the troop and they are now Cadettes and Seniors. The girls enjoy swimming, canoeing, and archery at a nearby Girl Scout camp. They are particularly interested in helping to maintain local populations of carnivorous plants, especially Venus' Flytrap which is only found in Southeastern North Carolina.

Carnivorous
Plants- There are 14 different species of Carnivorous plants at Camp Pretty Pond. They
are; the Venus' Flytrap, Butterwort, Bladderwort, 5 different species of Sun-Dews, and 6
different species of Pitcher Plants. For the past eight years, we have been trying to
rejuvenate dwindling populations of these plants. We divided and replanted Venus'
Flytraps, grow flytraps from seed, and cut back vegetation growing around the plants. We
developed and maintain nature trails at camp so that everyone can see the plants without
stepping on them.

Endangered
Animals- There are several endangered species at Camp Pretty Pond. They are; the Red
Cockaded Woodpecker, Bald Eagle, and once in a while the American Alligator. The nature
trails go past red- cockaded woodpecker nests to an amphitheater by the pond, which is a
great bird/alligator watching area.
