What did you do for your Gold Award project? I saw that softball players and parents at my charter high school were struggling with the 15-minute drive to and from practice every day, so I built a softball practice field for my Gold Award. I reached out to several people and was eventually able to find a company willing to level the field, and install the bases and chalk lines so players can practice. The project took a long time to complete, but the company was able to donate the dirt and machinery, a project that would have cost the school $25,000. The field will be maintained by the maintenance crew and players. They will drag the dirt with a rake to keep the field level and maintain the chalk lines. How did you measure the impact your Gold Award project made on your target audience? Through talking to the players and coaches of the team, I was able to see a great impact as they are excited to now have somewhere to go on campus, as well as something to build upon in the future. The school CEO, Jonathan Berg, is already planning on proposing a bid to the school board to finish off the field and make it game official. I am excited to see it already being built upon, and will soon be able to be used so much more — maybe even help the school raise money through renting it out! How is your project sustainable? How will your project continue to impact after your involvement? The players will be able to use the field for years to come, and luckily, those who used to have to drive to practice will be able to save money while using less gas. In that way, I will be able to have a sustainable project that the players can use, and once the school is ready to expand upon it, it will become so much more in the years to come. The players and maintenance crew will also be raking the field regularly and making sure the chalk lines are in place. What is your project’s global and/or national connection? My project, by talking about it on the news, not only raised awareness for how charter schools rely on the community for funding and can’t afford much, but it also serves as an example for softball players worldwide who can relate and perhaps be inspired to grow their program and help their community build a field as well. What did you learn about yourself? Being able to communicate with people and talk to adults wasn’t something I knew how to do very well before this experience. From this project, I also learned that, as someone who is very quick to respond, I can’t sit back and wait for a response from someone. Calling, or getting out there and talking person to person helps people realize how important the project is to me and my school. How will earning your Gold Award impact you in the future? Having completed my Gold Award, I now feel like no project is too big or too small. I am eager to get involved on my college campus and lead others to accomplish great things. I can also look back and feel a sense of accomplishment whenever I see the field being put to use by the players. Why do you feel the Gold Award was an important part of your Girl Scout experience? Being in Girl Scouts since I was a Daisy, I have always grown up in the culture of Girl Scouts. I have always loved doing projects- and as the projects got more complex, I enjoyed doing them even more. Being a leader and able to plan a project are two skills that being a Girl Scout has taught me. **IMPORTANT NOTE: This blog represents only a small fraction of the hard work, dedication and requirements that go into earning a Girl Scout Gold Award. It is simply a brief summary, which is meant to inspire Girl Scouts to Go Gold in the future.

Submitted by Jacque Korell Pueblo & Southeastern CO Pueblo At our October 16, 2016 meeting, the girls of Troops 30222 & 30220 expressed concern about the people being evacuated from the Junkins Fire in Custer County. (Several of the girls knew evacuees or emergency responders working this fire.) They decided that they wanted to help and voted on how much of their cookie money to spend and what they wanted to do. The next day our troop met at our local Walmart and shopped for items, then a few of the girls were even able to join us at the Pueblo County Fairgrounds where we gave our donations to the Red Cross to help the evacuees! As leaders, we are so incredibly proud of these girls who took the initiative themselves to help make someone’s day a little brighter in such horrible situations.

What did you do for your Gold Award project? My project addresses the lack of education surrounding the awareness of and interaction with those with disabilities. I addressed the issue of what a disability is, the acknowledgement that not all disabilities can be seen, introduced the concept of people first language, and what it means to be inclusive. How did you measure the impact your Gold Award project made on your target audience? At the beginning of my presentation I asked how many of my audience members knew someone with a disability, as well as if they knew that vision loss and blindness are within the top 10 disabilities. One of the activities I had my audience members participate in was called “Disability for a Day.” This is a simulation of what it is like to live with a disability. This includes trying to button a shirt while wearing mittens, playing patty cake while wearing Vaseline covered glasses, walking around on crutches, and wearing a knee brace. This activity helped the students to get a better understanding of what some disabilities might be. This activity was closely followed by a discussion on how they, the students, were going to be inclusive, and a challenge for them to do that when the opportunity arises. How is your project sustainable? How will your project continue to impact after your involvement? My project is to be sustained through the EXPAND program. The Exciting Programs, Adventures, and New Dimensions (EXPAND) program helps people who have disabilities improve and gain new recreation and leisure skills that will enhance the participants’ overall well-being and their quality of life. My presentation will be used when presenting to younger age groups by the EXPAND program. I have also created a website where I have placed a link to my presentation. It will be open for others to use as a guideline if they are looking to create a presentation. The website includes pages on what disabilities are, ways to be inclusive, and examples of how to simulate disabilities. This website has been placed on social media pages and will be posted on an international blog. Website: http://plomondondaniell.wixsite.com/differencematters What is your project’s global and/or national connection? Disabilities affect people of all cultures; they are not limited strictly to Americans. As part of the project’s sustainability, I have located blogs both nationally and internationally, on which to share my experience and post a link to my website/social media pages as resources for others. My hope is that with my project people will be able to transcend cultural boundaries and help those of all nations. What did you learn about yourself? As ironic as it sounds, I learned to be myself. I have always felt self-conscious about living up to other’s expectations such that I didn’t always do what I wanted to do. When originally picking my Gold Award topic I had first chosen a topic that I wasn’t 100% committed to. I had an interest, but it wasn’t quite right. At this point, I had little time and I knew that if I wasn’t fully interested in my project, then I wasn’t going to succeed. It wasn’t until I had decided to focus on education about disabilities that I had found what I wanted to do. During this project, I learned that if you want to succeed, then you first have to learn to be yourself. That is when you find what you are looking for. How will earning your Gold Award impact you in the future? My Gold Award taught me how to be a leader, face challenges and issues that may arise, and always be an advocate for what I believe in. Earning my Gold Award has helped prepare me to face new challenges that may present themselves in my future. Why do you feel the Gold Award was an important part of your Girl Scout experience? This Gold Award was an important part of my Girl Scout experience because it helped me to look beyond myself, troop, and community. With the Gold Award, I was able to apply, reinforce, and fine-tune skills that I developed through my years of Girl Scouts while earning my Bronze and Silver Awards. From kindergarten to senior year, with a troop change, often times my troop(s) and I would look at issues within our community, but with my Gold Award I was able to apply my skills and expand, looking at problems beyond my own community, to both national and international communities. **IMPORTANT NOTE: This blog represents only a small fraction of the hard work, dedication and requirements that go into earning a Girl Scout Gold Award. It is simply a brief summary, which is meant to inspire Girl Scouts to Go Gold in the future.

Sarah Greichen, 2016 Gold Award recipient from Centennial and Girl Scouts of the USA National Young Woman of Distinction, has been named Outstanding Youth in Philanthropy by the Association of Fundraising Professionals. The award comes with a $2,500 prize to be used for education expenses. It is presented to an individual youth volunteer (18 and under) who has demonstrated outstanding commitment to the promotion of philanthropy and volunteerism through his/her work in the community. This commitment and impact is demonstrated specifically through sustained activity over a period of time. The individual acts as a role model for other youth in the community and generates interest in volunteerism in other groups. Sarah, a senior at Front Range Christian School, was also awarded the Stephanie A. Foote Leadership Prize for Gold Award Excellence. Inspired by her twin brother who has an autism spectrum disorder,  Sarah started a non-profit organization, Score A Friend, to promote and support youth to lead school-based unified clubs for students of all abilities. Today, there are Score A Friend clubs in schools and universities across the country. “Sarah exemplifies courage, confidence, and character. Her continued pursuit of excellence in all aspects of her life inspires her peers and community members to listen and follow, taking action to make their world a better place,” said Girl Scouts of Colorado President and CEO Stephanie A. Foote, who nominated Sarah for this prestigious award. Sarah will officially accept her award at the annual National Philanthropy Day Luncheon on November 10, 2016 at the Seawell Grand Ballroom, Denver Center for the Performing Arts.

What did you do for your Gold Award project? My Gold Award involved informing parents and teachers about dyslexia by hosting a viewing of “The Big Picture:  Rethinking Dyslexia” and to lead a panel discussion after. I also created a Little Free Library for my neighborhood with bookmarks from the Rocky Mountain branch of the International Dyslexia Association with information about dyslexia.  It is important for parents and teachers to be well informed about dyslexia, because reading gives every child “A Learning Advantage.” How did you measure the impact your Gold Award project made on your target audience? 55 people attended the movie and panel, including a handful of students who attended with their parents. Of those 55 people 10-12 people were teachers and student-teachers.  Since my Little Free Library was installed I have received numerous comments about the Little Free Library being an asset and a welcome addition to my community. Neighbors from my community have donated books for the Little Free Library. How is your project sustainable? How will your project continue to impact after your involvement? My Little Free Library will be kept up by the Willow Springs swim team which consists of 5-18-year-old kids from my neighborhood.  They will maintain the library by making repairs when necessary and making sure it is stocked with books. What is your project’s global and/or national connection? The steps I took to inspire others included posting fliers around my neighborhood and at public libraries. I sent every principal and dean of students in the Poudre School District a copy of my flier for them to then distribute among teachers and parents. I also inspired parents through my presentation of “The Big Picture.” After the movie and panel, several of the parents were inspired to start a support group for parents with dyslexic kids. What did you learn about yourself? My Gold Award project has allowed me to gain confidence in myself and my abilities. I can assess problems I encounter and find the best possible route to fix them. I have gained important life and leadership skill thought my Gold Award experience. How will earning your Gold Award impact you in the future? I believe that earning my Gold Award has impacted my future in many ways. I can now face the future with a smile and know that I can walk into the unknown ready to face the challenges. Why do you feel the Gold Award was an important part of your Girl Scout experience? I feel that earning a Gold Award is important to every Girl Scouts’ experience. Not only does it build extremely important life skills, it teaches girls to be confident in their own abilities. Earning my Gold Award has been a very fulfilling experience. I have gained valuable skill for myself, but more importantly, I have helped my community and hopefully, in the long run a few kids who face the challenges of living with dyslexia. **IMPORTANT NOTE: This blog represents only a small fraction of the hard work, dedication and requirements that go into earning a Girl Scout Gold Award.

From Girl Scouts of the USA Girl Scouts of the USA (GSUSA) and Netflix are joining forces to empower young girls to envision their futures in STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) fields. Centered around Project Mc2, a Netflix original series from MGA Entertainment Inc., the collaboration takes STEM beyond the small screen with hands-on experiences for Girl Scout troops at Netflix headquarters and the debut of a STEM Superstars Guide (PDF), an online resource that encourages Girl Scouts across the country to discover just how exciting, fun and rewarding STEM can be. Despite initial interest in STEM fields, nearly 50 percent of girls feel that STEM isn’t a typical career path for them, and interest fades as they move through middle and high school. 1 To celebrate the organization’s focus on leading like a G.I.R.L. (Go-getter, Innovator, Risk-taker, Leader)™ and encourage the pursuit of STEM subjects like those featured in Project Mc2, leaders from GSUSA and Netflix were joined by female representatives from Google, Instagram, and Twitter to kick off She Rules: STEM on Tuesday evening, October 4. Girl Scout troops from Silicon Valley, representing Girl Scouts of Northern California, were invited to Netflix headquarters in Los Gatos, California to hear from real-world STEM experts and learn how their pursuit of STEM fields led to rewarding and unexpected careers. Additionally, the Girl Scouts got a sneak peek of season three of Project Mc2 and put their STEM skills to the test through hands-on experiments inspired by the show. “As a lifelong Girl Scout who grew up to pursue rocket science, I know the impact our program can have on girls interested in STEM,” said Sylvia Acevedo, interim CEO of Girls Scouts of the USA. “My Girl Scout experience was a key element in empowering me to enter the engineering field when most females didn’t pursue STEM. I am so thrilled to work with Netflix to ensure more girls have the interest, drive, and determination to pursue and lead in STEM-related fields.” From showing girls how STEM subjects are woven throughout their everyday lives to introducing girls to STEM enthusiasts like the cast of Project Mc2, the new STEM Superstars Guide provides Girl Scout volunteers nationwide with the tools they need to keep girls’ passions and curiosity for STEM subjects alive. The guide shows just how easy it is to make STEM matter for young girls with conversation starters, troop activities, and examples of STEM role models. “As a mother of two Girl Scouts, I’m especially proud that there are shows on Netflix like Project Mc2that celebrate young girls’ enthusiasm in STEM subjects,” said Shauna Spenley, vice president of North America Marketing, Netflix. “By working with an organization like GSUSA to extend the girl power message that is so central to Project Mc2 off the screen, we are able to inspire the next generation of gadget gurus and culinary chemists.” Netflix is proud to support girls in STEM with shows that authentically reflect real girls and women by elevating individuality and giving empowering characters a place to be seen. Project Mc2 aims to encourage girls to embrace their passions for learning and exploring like McKeyla McAlister (problem solver and leader), Adrienne Attoms (culinary chemist), Bryden Bandweth (tech genius), Camryn (engineer extraordinaire), Devon D’Marco (artist and creative) and Ember Evergreen (green thumb). Girls can also continue to explore STEM subjects by participating in unique G.I.R.L.-led experiences and other opportunities offered through Girl Scouts.

What did you do for your Gold Award project? I built a memorial to recognize the sacrifices made by women who have served in the military. How did you measure the impact your Gold Award project made on your target audience? There was only one monument for women in the military in Colorado, well now there are two! Placing this monument and promoting it through the VFW and Facebook creates awareness for female military members past and present and the issues they face. I have a great passion for this project. I have been volunteering with the VFW for years. I have been active with parades, buddy poppies, and fundraising dinners. I received the youth volunteer of the year award from the VFW. Working closely with veterans, I knew how much this would mean to the women who have sacrificed everything to fight for our freedom. This is my thank you to them! How  is your project sustainable?  How  will  your  project  continue to impact after your  involvement? My monument will always be here and will be used in future ceremonies so that more and more people will see it. At the unveiling, many people cried tears of joy and happiness when I pulled the cover off. This display of emotion showed me that my project means the world for the people out there who have served or have relatives or friends who have served. Every time a new visitor views the monument, women who have served in the military gain recognition for their service and the sacrifices they have made. What is your project’s global and/or national connection? My project has a huge connection globally and nationally. By promoting the monument using national organizations’ websites and social media, people can connect to my project and the issues facing military women. What did you learn about yourself? I learned that I can do anything if I just set my mind to it. How will earning your Gold Award impact you in the future? Earning the Gold Award looks amazing on a resume, and hopefully will help me when applying for college. I also plan to used my experience to encourage other girls to do bigger and better things to improve their communities. Why do you feel the Gold Award was an important part of your Girl Scout experience? My Gold Award project was important to my Girl Scout experience because it showed me what a difference I can make. It also marks the end of my time as a girl and the beginning of my time as a young adult. This project made me realize that I can do amazing things if I just put my mind to it and that I can succeed in any challenge I may face in the future. **IMPORTANT NOTE: This blog represents only a small fraction of the hard work, dedication and requirements that go into earning a Girl Scout Gold Award.

Submitted by Sydney M., Gold Award candidate Denver Metro Highlands Ranch My name is Sydney and I am an Ambassador Girl Scout from Rock Canyon High School. As part of my Girl Scout Gold Award project, I am hosting a family 5K fun run/1 mile walk called “Miles for Meals” at Rock Canyon High School on October 23, 2016 to collect donations and raise awareness for the Fresh Harvest Food Bank in Douglas County. The race is free with a donation of food or personal care items (just bring your donation on race day). Race details and registration information: Where: Rock Canyon High School Track – Start/Finish When: Sunday, October 23, 2016 9:00-9:45 a.m. Check-in/Packet Pickup 10:00 a.m. 5k Fun Run Start 11:00 a.m. Announcements/Awards Register Online at: MilesForMeals.eventbrite.ca The online registration deadline is Friday, October 21, 2016, but walk-ups on race day are welcome. All ages are welcome, but please supervise children. I became involved with Fresh Harvest Food Bank through my elementary school, where they started as the Panther Pantry. My elementary school’s feeder area has one of the highest percentage of students in Douglas County that rely on the free and reduced lunch program, and the Panther Pantry was an important resource for many families. I have continued to work with the organization as they have grown to become an independent food bank that also provides clothes, school supplies, and personal care products. As I learned more about how large a need there is in our community for their services, I knew that I wanted to come up with a Gold Award project to raise awareness and increase donations to their organization. Food security is an issue that I have been concerned about for some time, and my Silver Award project focused on building a school and community garden at East Elementary School, a school with a high percentage of low income families in the Denver Public School District. Many of my fellow high school students, and even adults in this area, do not realize how important the Food Bank is and how many families around Douglas County rely on their assistance and support. I want to do a fun run because it will provide a good opportunity to engage the community and get many people together at one event. As an active Girl Scout since kindergarten, achieving a Gold Award has always been a personal goal. Beyond individual achievement, I am even more motivated to help improve my community, and this project allows me to have a direct and lasting impact. #GoldAward #SilverAward #FreshHarvestFoodBank #HighlandsRanch #DouglasCounty #Denvermetro
