Junior Troop 5130: Bronze Project



This year, the Juniors from GS Troop 5130 completed their Bronze Award project: a year-long educational initiative to engage other Girl Scouts in ways to support the homeless.  The girls held two planning retreats and a series of events, both in-person and virtually (due to Covid-19).

Project stats: 
  • 150 Lunches Made for Connect-by-Night (link to orgs like CBN)
  • Multiple cases of GS cookies donated to CBN
  • Approx 50 Toiletry Treat Bags donated to CBN
  • MANY rolls of plarn for Angels in Motion
  • Engagement of the Entire Service Unit 
  • Development of multiple PR devices
  • Education of Younger GS via Virtual Events
Troops in Eastern PA might be interested in supporting organizations in this area:
  • Original brochure distributed to service unit troop leaders and parents who brought donations for us to use for Connect-By-Night.
  • Additional resources in Delaware County.

Save Gonzo the Squirrel

Amber recently participated in Project Squirrel  via Girl Scouts of USA's partnership with  SciStarter  to earn her Citizen Scientist badges.  She was inspired by the board game that Chloe and Kyra created to promote pollinator protection.  So, Amber designed "Save Gonzo the Squirrel," a game in which players select characters and practice wildlife conservation as they journey to the center of a park to help rescue an injured squirrel. Of course, in real life, do not attempt to touch an injured animal - find an adult to help!
