Cassidy Brown, from Girl Scout Troop 224, painted shapes, letters and hopscotch along the Capaha Park lake path both for her Silver Scouting award and to promote early learning.

The City of Cape Girardeau Parks and Recreation Department and United Way of Southeast Missouri's Success by 6 -- Born Learning initiative made this project possible.
