Support our Bronze Award Girls - and donate to the wildlife garden

 

Meet Freddy.  He is the mascot for the four girls from our troop who are earning their Bronze Award (the highest honor a Girl Scout Junior can earn).  To do so, they need to plan and create a community service project that will have a lasting impact for years to come. They decided to plant a wildlife garden in an suburban area to attract birds and insects as they migrate or live locally. With the increase of construction and urbanization, they want to ensure that our wildlife friends have places to rest and find haven.

Please help us raise the money we need to purchase plants and supplies to create our wildlife garden!  Click here to donate and see our video!

Thank you!

Girl Scout Bronze Award

As 5th grade Juniors, you are eligible for the Bronze Award, one of the highest Girls Scout honors.  This is a big undertaking and requires a serious full year commitment from the Girl Scout, her leader and her family. You do not have to sign up for this in order to be part of our troop - it is optional, but once you commit it will be for the entire school year.

I am committed to assisting any member of our troop as a leader to accomplish her goals to earn the award.  If you are interested, and you have your parent's support, let me know. There will be at least 1 separate meeting each month for those girls who are working on the Bronze Award.  Here are the steps you MUST COMPLETE before June in order to receive the award:

1. Finish the Journey (we started Agent of Change last year, we will finish that).
2. Build your team - I will know soon who is interested in working on the Bronze Award, and you will be able to form teams from that group of girls.
3. Explore your community - this is to get ideas of projects you can do, like brainstorming.
4. Choose your Girl Scout Bronze Award project - this will not be a small project, it will be one that  makes a real impact on the community.  There are some examples in the Bronze Award Guide.
5. Make a plan.
6. Put your plan in action.
7. Spread the word.

Here is the full Bronze Award Guide.

I need to know by Oct. 12, 2012 if you are committed to earn a Bronze Award.
