Cookies for the Heart Institute at Children’s Hospital

Submitted by Ellie B. Metro Denver Parker This was Andie’s fifth year selling cookies. Selling during during a pandemic shifted her selling strategies.

Gold Award Girl Scout Ashlyn Morrill, Parker, “Protect the Pollinators”

What did you do for your Gold Award project? I created a pollinator garden that attracts various pollinators, e.g. hummingbirds, butterflies, bees, etc., with the help of local Girl Scout troops to show how important pollinators are to the community and what they provide, and to inspire them to do their part to help conserve the pollinator populations. I also created a website and presentation for various classes at my high school to encourage others to create their own polli

Together, these perspectives offered a more personal view of the challenges faced by diabetic students and insights on the emotional

Gold Award Girl Scout: Mia Aguon, Parker, “E-Cigarettes”

My Gold Award Project was to have businesses of downtown Parker agree to hang up “No Smoking” signs that include e-cigarettes. Public health and safety has been something I feel strongly about preserving. With the growing popularity of e-cigarettes and vaporizers, I quickly became concerned about how it will affect communities, specifically the business community of my hometown of Parker. After seeing people openly use e-cigarettes and vape pens in stores, I knew exactly what

These Girl Scouts were risk-takers by leaving their parents

GSCO Photo Challenge: Girl Scouting is a family tradition

Submitted by Ellie Barry Metro Denver Parker My own daughter bridged to Brownies, wearing my old Brownie uniform tee. When she was still in preschool and liked to watch “Max and Ruby,” she asked me when she would get to be a Girl Scout. She didn’t know that I used to be a leader before she was born. She didn’t know that I had been a Girl Scout when I was a girl. She didn’t know that her grandmother had been a Girl Scout. She didn’t know that her great-grandmother had been a G
