- Gold Award Girl Scout: Brittney Smith, Colorado Springs, ” Exploring an Artist’s ViewpointR
What did you do for your Gold Award project? For my Gold Award project, I wanted to empower and inspire my community and local artists. To achieve this dream, I created an annual art show tradition, at my high school, to showcase student art. The student art that is showcased targets a worldwide issue or a controversial perspective. These projects have allowed people to connect with others through their similarities and differences, and open people’s perspectives on a worldwide issue. For my art show, I was able to achieve these goals through art in a unique and non-verbal way. I created eight different ocean-themed sculptures on Altoid mint cans. These cans represent how sea animals turn our trash into their homes. The idea of ocean pollution is a controversial subject, but something that needs to “sea” change. How did you measure the impact your Gold Award project made on your target audience? To vocalize this controversial topic, I hosted an art show for the public to discuss their opinions and different perspectives. At my art show, I used surveys to see and prove that art can bring different perspectives together and inspire others. How is your project sustainable? How will your project continue to impact after your involvement? I created an art show curriculum to continue to inspire other artists and people for years to come. What is your project’s global and/or national connection? This curriculum has been sent out to all of District 20 in Colorado Springs, the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs, the Fine Arts Center, and the National Arts Honor Society. What did you learn about yourself? Throughout this project, I have not only learned about other people’s perspectives, but I have learned many things about myself too. For example, I learned that I tend to put more on my plate than what I can handle. During this project, I was working three different jobs, going to college as a full-time student, and somehow made time for the gym and the ones I love. How will earning your Gold Award impact you in the future? Although I had way too much on my plate, I am proud to say that I persevered and earned my Gold Award. This award will help me earn dental scholarships and future jobs. I am currently completing my first of 14 years of college to become an Oral Maxillofacial Surgeon, and every scholarship helps. Why do you feel the Gold Award was an important part of your Girl Scout experience? By earning my Gold Award, I can say I completed Girl Scouts. The satisfaction of finishing something that once appeared so much bigger than myself is what continues to drive me as a person, artist, and G.I.R.L. How did earning your Gold Award help you become a G.I.R.L. (go-getter, innovator, risk-taker, leader)? To be a G.I.R.L. a person must be gusty, iconic, robust, and loyal. My Gold Award has helped me become more brave, different, strong, and more of a leader. **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.

- World Thinking Day 2021: How to Participate
Submitted by Krista Beucler and Anna Beucler Northern & Northeastern CO Fort Collins What is World Thinking Day? Since 1926, World Thinking Day on February 22 has been a day of international friendship for Girl Guides and Girl Scouts all over the world. February 22 is the birthday of Lord Baden Powell, founder of Boy Scouts, and his wife Olave Baden Powell, who was one of the founders of Girl Guides. On February 22, Girl Guides and Girl Scouts connect with each other and join together in global action to make the world a better place. For the last two years, the World Association Girl Guides and Girl Scouts’ (WAGGGS), World Thinking Day themes have set the foundation for peacebuilding: we have empowered leaders and explored why it is important for our communities to be rich in diversity, equity and inclusion. In this year’s activity pack, Girl Guides and Girl Scouts in 152 countries will become better peace builders so we can truly live out our global promise. You can find the Activity Pack here.

- Gold Award Girl Scout: Aarzoo Aggarwal, Aurora, “Girls are SMART (Scientists, Mathematicians,
What did you do for you Gold Award Project? I created a program called Girls are SMART (Scientists, Mathematicians, Astronomers, Researchers, Talented), during which I instructed a young group of girls in elementary school to make art projects utilizing STEM topics. We made chromatography butterflies, constellation boards, salt watercolor painting, painted pinecones, and drip art. After each project, we discussed the science behind the project and had some amazing women from the School of Mines talk with us about their lives as women in STEM. At the end of this virtual five week session, we had a virtual art show to showcase all of the girls’ beautiful and creative STEM art work. How did you measure the impact your Gold Award project made on you target audience? I measured the impact my Gold Award project made on my target audience, girls in elementary school, through trivia sessions and the activity on my website. After each session, we played a few rounds of trivia that included recap questions about the content that we had just gone over. I was able to gauge what topics the girls understood and what they didn’t through how many of them answered correctly. This was a fun way to engage young girls and measure the impact of my Gold Award virtually. Additionally, I was able to keep track of the activity on my website which allowed me to see how many girls were accessing my resources and learning. How project sustainable? How will your project continue to impact after you involvement? Girls are SMART is sustainable because of its partnership with the Colorado School of Mines. They have added a link to my website to theirs, which reaches out to a larger audience. I have many resources on my website such as the five project videos that I made, a curriculum for the science behind each project, interactive slideshows for young girls, and much more! Because the School of Mines’s SWE program promotes my resources to become a member of Girls are SMART, my Gold Award will continue to make an impact. What is your project’s global and/or national connection? My project’s global/national connection is its link to the national SWE program. The national SWE program will similarly promote my resources on their website, allowing more and more young girls to access my projects and resources and learn about the ubiquitous reach of STEM! What did you learn about yourself? Throughout the course of earning my Girl Scout Gold Award, I learned so many things about myself that if I were to write it all out it would never end, but one of my main takeaways from this amazing experience was that I realized that although I might be afraid to venture out of my comfort zone, in the end I find it surprisingly enjoyable. My curiosity drives my love for experiencing new things, even if they scare me at first. How will earning your Gold Award impact you in the future? Earning my Gold Award will have a great impact on me for the rest of my life. Not only will I remember the wonderful memories from teaching and communicating with young girls forever, but I will also be less scared to take risks and try new approaches. I will always remember that if you don’t try something new and explore your curiosities you can never grow. Why do you feel the Gold Award was an important part of you Girl Scout experience? Earning my Gold Award was an important part of my Girl Scout experience because I was able to culminate all of my experiences from selling Girl Scout Cookies door-to-door in the cold, to exploring the wilderness and making s’mores. By combining all of these unforgettable journeys, I made another memorable memory that marks an important step in my Girls Scouts experience. Although earning my Gold Award is not the end to my time as a Girl Scout, earning my Gold Award is an amazing way to complete this era of being a Girl Scout. How did earning you Gold Award help you become a G.I.R.L ( go -getter, innovator, risk-taker, leader)? Earning my Gold Award helped me become a G.I.R.L (go-getter, innovator, risk-taker and leader) because I learned the necessity of exploration, which has been an idea that has continued to grow since the day I began Girl Scouts. Had I not explored numerous possibilities and been a risk-taker, I wouldn’t have come up with the idea for Girls are SMART. Although everything that I tried didn’t work out, being a risk-taker allowed be to then become an innovator. I had to come up with creative ways through which my Gold Award would have the impact I wanted it to. **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.

- Gold Award Girl Scout: Bethany Taullie, LaJunta, “Bethany’s Birthday in a Bag”
What did you do for your Gold Award project? For my Gold Award project, Bethany´s Birthday in a Bag, I created birthday bags for children who normally don’t get a present, or even a cake on their birthdays. I connected with churches, schools, organizations, and the members of my community to help with my project, receiving hundreds of donations. Once all of my items (including cake mix, frosting, crafts, stuffed animals, games, and more) were collected, I put together 100 birthday bags, which were distributed to elementary schools and foster care systems in my community. How did you measure the impact your Gold Award project made on your target audience? My target audience is low-resource parents who want to give their children a birthday experience, but don’t have the ability to do so. I measured the impact of this by the number of bags that were handed out to children in my community. My other target audience was members of the Arkansas/Otero Valley, who wanted to volunteer and become involved in my project. This impact was measured by the amount of support and donations that I received and the way my community came together to help children have the birthday experience that they deserve. How is your project sustainable? How will your project continue to impact after your involvement? Three girls from my school have committed to helping me with my project, as well as another girl from a school near mine in Otero County. I will train these girls, and together we will make an official Bethany’s Birthday in a Bag group. Once I go to college, they will continue the project, and once they also move on, they will find new people to recruit, keeping the organization alive in our community. Aside from the area around my town, I also connected with another Girl Scout troop in Denver, who will be doing something very similar to my project. Also as of right now, through Serve Colorado, my project is also being shared with FBLA and 4-H groups around the state. What is your project’s global and/or national connection? I created an official Bethany’s Birthday in a Bag Gold Award document that explained what my project is, how the bags were put together, what obstacles I faced, how I connected with my community, etc. This document was shared to multiple organizations around the United States, including the YMCA, the Alliance of Strong Families and Communities, Child Care Aware of America, Children’s Foundation of America, and the Community and Child Support Services Division. What did you learn about yourself? I never truly understood how much I love helping others until I created Bethany’s Birthday in a Bag. As I worked on my project, I slowly began to learn that something as small as a gift on a child’s birthday can impact their life, and that I was going to be a part of that. This project truly made me realize that what I want to do with my life is spread God’s love, and use the gifts that the Lord has blessed me with to help those in need as much as I can. I want to share with the world that there is a significant joy in giving to others. How will earning your Gold Award impact you in the future? Earning my Gold Award has given me life skills that will support me tremendously in the future. Bethany´s Birthday in a Bag will help me with scholarships, getting the financial aid I need for college, and assist me in spreading the word of giving to others. I have also learned how to communicate well and lead others, which will help me with pretty much any career. Why do you feel the Gold Award was an important part of your Girl Scout experience? Of course, selling cookies helps with communication and leadership skills, but doing your Gold Award takes it above and beyond that. You learn how to truly lead a team and make a difference in your community. Earning my Gold Award has made my entire Girl Scout experience feel extremely worthwhile, memorable, and beneficial. How did earning your Gold Award help you become a G.I.R.L. (go-getter, innovator, risk-taker, leader)? Go Getter- I learned to chase what I want! No one was going to start and lead my project for me, I had to do that. I realized that if I really want something in life, I have to work hard, reach out, and take it. Innovator- I had to come up with a new idea, or something that had never been done before in my community, but was a need. I learned how to take a small idea and make it an incredible reality. Risk-Taker- When one thing didn’t work, I had to try another! I faced so many challenges, and there was doubt that I could actually create all the bags needed for my project. But, I learned to think outside of the box and accomplish my goals even when there was a big problem I had to face. Leader- Every skill you need to be a leader you will receive from earning your Gold Award. I learned to lead by example and work hard for my goals and incorporate creativity, flexibility, and communication skills into my project. I gained the ability to truly be a great leader, and bring my community together to achieve a common goal. **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.

- Countdown to World Thinking Day 2021
Submitted by the GSCO Global Action Team Hopefully, you have been busy finding out why we celebrate World Thinking Day (WTD), what this year’s theme is (peacebuilding), and the meaning of the World Pin or Badge. Continuing our progress thru the Countdown to World Thinking Day document, it is time to find out about the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS) and where the Five World Centers are located. My Experience The Five (5) World Centers are our home away from home. I have been privileged to go to four of the World Centers. My first trip was with a patrol of girls from Mountain Prairie Girl Scout Council to a program at Our Chalet in Adelboden in the Swiss Alps of Switzerland. There were nine girls and two adults (including me) that left DIA for a four-week trip to include ten days at Our Chalet and quick trips into Germany, Austria, Italy, France, and a final stop in London with a visit to Olave House (predecessor of Pax Lodge). Well, I was hooked on international travel and visits to the World Centers. I could talk on and on about how wonderful the World Centers are, but you have work to do to discover it yourself! World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts – (WAGGGS) – Countries Did you know that each Girl Scout has nearly 10 million sisters? Yes, and this sisterhood reaches to girls and young women from round the world and reside in the 152 member countries of the WAGGGS. On a map of the world, mark the countries that have Girl Guides or Girl Scouts. Go to the WAGGGS website and Our World – Regions you will see all the Regions listed. Each Region lists its countries. What are the five region names as indicated by the (?) marks above? Choose a region and check out what member countries are there? Click on several of the countries. Look at their pins. Are they similar to ours or different? How many members do they have? Do they have only girls or do they have boys too? Compare their membership numbers to our Girl Scouts of Colorado membership of about 20,000. World Centers As a starting place for information, look in the “Our Girl Scout World section of your Girl’s Guide to Girl Scouting Handbook” where there is lots of information about the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS) and the World Centers. Check out the WAGGGS website for more information on each center. What events does each host? What are some of the other things you can do at while at each Center? There are video tours of each World Center that are a must see! For Our Chalet, there is a Birthday Blog that the Global Action Team did in July. Which is the newest World Center? Why does it not have a building? Which World Center do you want to visit and why? Special World Center Announcement — Virtual Programs with activities As the World Centers are temporarily closed for 2021 and not hosting face-to-face events, teams at the centers have been busy developing a multitude of virtual programs in the following areas: Global Adventures Race across Europe completing mini challenges; travel through London while learning about our founders and those who have shaped Girl Guiding and Girl Scouting through time; learn what’s needed to take part in an international World Center adventure and hear first-hand the amazing experiences of Girl Guides/Girl Scouts who have been there. Cultural Discoveries Explore different cultural celebrations and skills from the countries our World Centers are located in. Take a virtual trip through the Swiss Alps, move virtually around the Africa Region, celebrate the Festival of Light with Sangam, and enjoy the Queen of England’s Birthday with Pax Lodge.

- Honoring Josephine Holloway during Black History Month
Josephine Holloway, a champion of diversity, was one of the first Black Girl Scout troop leaders. Josephine dreamed of bringing the Girl Scout programming to girls at a local women’s shelter in Nashville, Tennessee, and in 1924, she fought for the opportunity to do just that. By the end of the year, more than 300 girls there were engaged in Girl Scout-inspired activities. Nearly 10 years later in 1933 when Blacks and other minorities in our country still faced staunch racism, Josephine made her first attempt to form an official troop for Black girls, but her request was initially denied. The local council declined, citing the high cost of maintaining separate facilities for Blacks. Nevertheless, Josephine pressed on, and in 1942, after much perseverance, the region’s first Black Girl Scout troop was established. At this time, segregation and oppression was commonplace. Learn more about Josephine Holloway and her vision, courage, and passion for bringing Girl Scouting to all girls here. You and your girls can also complete the following activity to honor Josephine’s legacy and celebrate Black History Month.

- Sydney H.’s Day of Service Project
Submitted by Tracy Mentasti Metro Denver Denver Troop 65685 participated in Girl Scouts of Colorado’s Day of Service in January 2021 with a variety of different service projects. Sydney H. hosted a bake sale to benefit St. Jude’s Hospital. She sent out an email to her neighbors explaining her project. “I think this is super important to the American society because living in a world without cancer is important. Think about it, cancer destroys all different species and it would be nice for this to go away. One of the main reasons is we could lose the amount of deaths each year we have of this disease. In this article it states, ‘Cancer is the leading cause of death by disease in American children, resulting in the death of approximately 1,800 kids each year.’ I will be doing a bake sale with two options up for grabs: snickerdoodles and chocolate chip cookies.” – Sydney H.
