Okay, it's a proud Momma moment....Katrina has started working on her Girl Scout Silver Award. She met with the Coordinator of our local Meals-on-Wheels, and narrowed her project down. She is making Christmas cards for the Volunteers (75+ cards) and Valentine's cards for ALL their clients (300+ cards). She will host a few card making workshops to help her reach her goal and to let other kids know that they too can help Meals-on-Wheels. She is so excited!
If you are not familiar with the Awards, they are Community Service Projects that the GIRLS plan and execute.
Bronze Award (4th & 5th graders), can be done as a troop but each girl must do 20+ hours
Silver Award (6th to 8th graders), can be done as a small group but each girl must do 50+ hours
Gold Award (High school), an individual project, must go through a rigorous approval process, must be self-sustaining, must take 80+ hours to complete
<Joseph's Eagle Project was easier to get approved and accomplished than Samantha's Gold Award was!>
