- Food Drive for Local Food Bank
Submitted by Ayse Bergh Northern & Northeastern CO Erie Troop 77053 researched a service project for our community. There were many options available. Our local food bank sent out messages on social media. They were really short on certain foods. Our troop jumped into action to serve this need. First, we spread the word and set up collections. Second, we collected and delivered, and finally by using some of the troop money to purchase foods that did not show up in the collection. This is a work in progress. We want to hear how your girl is using her Girl Scout skills by taking initiative, caring for the community, and Girl Scouting at home.

- National Service Project: Fighting Hunger
From Girl Scouts of the USA (GSUSA) More than 50 million adults, children, and families in the United States are experiencing food insecurity, a number that has only increased since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic and may include members of our own communities, friends and family, or members of our troops, making this a sensitive and important take action issue for Girl Scouts. As they think about how to give back this holiday season, girls can make a big difference in their communities—and for children around the world—by supporting hunger relief efforts. There are lots of ways for your troop to make an impact, whether you’re meeting safely in person or virtually and even if you aren’t able to give food directly: (Hint: check out our detailed troop leader instructions (PDF) for helpful tips for each project!) Support a food drive in your community or organize your own (DOC)! Thank a Food Bank Hero! Write to a Food Bank Hero to show your troop’s appreciation and send encouragement for the hard and vital work they do. Mail your handwritten notes to your local food bank. Volunteer at a drive-thru food distribution program if there are COVID-safe options with local food banks in your area. (And if your troop is old enough!) Once your troop has completed this service project, remember to: Inspire others to give back! Post a photo of your project to your social networks using the hashtags #GirlScoutsGiveBack and #GSColo. Be sure to tag GSCO on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram. Complete GSUSA’s survey so your troop’s impact can be counted in our national service projects. If you wish to recognize your troop’s participation with a patch, we recommend this Girl Scouts Give Back patch. For all National Service Project activities taking place during COVID-19, please make sure that your troop complies with health and safety guidelines given by the CDC, your local government, and your local Girl Scout council.

- Girl Scouts of Colorado’s Day of Service 2021
Every year on the third Monday in January we celebrate the life of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Many schools and businesses are closed on this day, but it is supposed to be “a day on, not a day off.” It is a day that everyone should spend strengthening their communities, creating solutions to social problems and bridging barriers that will get us closer to Dr. King’s vision of a “Beloved Community.” At Girl Scouts of Colorado, we want girls, volunteers, and their families to take this day to connect with their communities and participate in a day of service, as long as they are following current public health guidelines in their community. Girls can even earn our limited GSCO Day of Service patch by participating in a community service project on January 18, 2021! We want everyone to continue to be safe*, so we have compiled a list of community service projects that you can safely do in any part of the state to connect and help your community. *please wash your hands and wear your masks while preparing and participating in these activities to continue to keep everyone safe. Community Service Project Ideas: No contact sack meal drop-off: With your family or close social circle, gather some non-perishable items to pack in a brown paper bag. Good items are: water bottles, fruit cups, granola bars, tuna packs, crackers, and snack cakes. (Note: All items must be pre-packaged; no home prepared food.) Pack them up, then connect with a local community center or place of worship to leave them out for those in need. Community clean-up: Get your gloves and trash bags out, wear your mask, and go pick up trash! This could be at your local park, waterways, or playgrounds, really wherever you see litter. Help your neighbors: Get onto your local NextDoor or other social site and ask if there are any projects that people need help with. This could be everything from shoveling a sidewalk to fixing a fence. Best way to know what your community needs is to ask. These helpful activities can and should be done in a contactless way. Spread happiness: Whether this is a sidewalk art project, or writing letters to neighbors all these projects spread happiness to people you don’t even know. National Service Projects: Check out some of the service projects girls are doing across the country. https://www.girlscouts.org/en/girl-scouts-at-home/troop-leaders/national-service-projects.html Don’t forget to take photos of your community service projects and share your story here on the blog and social media. Tag GSCO on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram. Twitter and Instagram users should also use #GSColo and #GirlScoutsGiveBack.

- Silver Award Project: Connect with Snow Leopards
Submitted by Nadya D. Superior Northern & Northeastern CO Hello! I am Nadya, Colorado Girl Scout from Troop 68214, Aspen Gold Service Unit. I am an eighth grader at Eldorado P-K8, and I have completed my Silver Award Project, “Connect with Snow Leopards,” to help spread awareness on a global issue – the conservation of wild Snow Leopards. Through this project, I have discovered my passion for creating content that young girls will enjoy, while also gaining important real-world knowledge. In the process of completing “Connect with Snow Leopards,” I got to make connections with amazing people both within Girl Scouts and the Snow Leopard Trust organization, and it was truly humbling. My project offers a solution to a problem that matters on multiple levels. Not only does it give Girl Scouts stuck at home a fun patch to do, it also educates them on an important and not well-known issue, while at the same time shining a light on organizations like the Snow Leopard Trust and Conservancy. We want to hear how your girl is using her Girl Scout skills by taking initiative, caring for the community, and Girl Scouting at home.

- Listen now – Meet an Expert: Senator Kerry Donovan
Girl Scouts of Colorado thanks Colorado State Senator Kerry Donovan for participating in our “Meet an Expert” webinar series on December 3, 2020. More than 50 Girl Scouts from across Colorado joined the session to learn all about Senator Donovan’s background, experience, and what it is like being a Colorado state senator. Senator Donovan represents Colorado’s 5th Senate district which is based in the mountain towns of the Rockies, including Chaffee, Delta, Eagle, Gunnison, Hinsdale, Lake, and Pitkin Counties. You can now watch and listen to this webinar on the GSCO YouTube channel. Senator Donovan walked girls through the process of a bill becoming a law and spoke to the girls about some of the work she has done that she is most proud of. She also spoke about her time growing up in Colorado and working as a restaurant chef and rancher. We also got to meet the Senator’s dog, Gary, though he was asleep for most of the program! After a short presentation, Senator Donovan answered a ton of questions from the girls who participated live. Girls asked awesome questions and we all learned a lot about how state government works. Participating in this webinar helps meet requirements for the new Democracy badges for all Girl Scout levels. Girl Scouts who participated in the live session or listen to the recording can purchase their “Meet an Expert” patch online: https://www.girlscoutsofcolorado.org/en/about-girl-scouts/gsco-shop.html Questions?

- Gold Award Girl Scouts impact Colorado communities and beyond
In the face of the global coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, Girl Scouts continue to do all they can to make our world a better place by taking action to address issues facing their local communities. There are no better examples of this Girl Scout spirit and resiliency than the 16 Girl Scouts from across Colorado who recently earned the distinction of Gold Award Girl Scout, the highest honor in Girl Scouting. They include: Sidney Barbier from Steamboat Springs, Steamboat Mountain School, tackled the issues of waste and recycling, particularly at Colorado state parks. She designed signage for state parks, hosted events to educate others about waste diversion, and even created a Junior Ranger curriculum. Charlotte Blish from Arvada, Arvada West High School, started a nonprofit, Watering Communities, to teach elementary-aged students about how the lack of clean water impacts socio-economic and education resources in parts of Africa. Clare Bolon from Longmont, Apex Homeschool Enrichment Program, developed and taught a week-long online course about how to write and read cursive. She also created resources to help students continue to practice their cursive after completing the course. Kayla Fairweather from Parker, Ponderosa High School, developed a video curriculum on Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) to supplement the T1D training that teachers currently receive. It features the perspectives of diabetic students, parents, a professional athlete with T1D, an endocrinologist, and a diabetes resource nurse. Zoe Johnson from Monument, Palmer Ridge High School, created a handbook and video about horse care and safety to educate new or inexperienced horse owners, as well as barn staff at summer camps. Beatrice Lin from Longmont, Silver Creek High School, developed a workshop and handbook for Girl Scout Daisies and Brownies called “Bringing Global to Girls” (BGtG). The goal is to help younger Girl Scouts develop a sense of connection to the rest of the world and appreciation for other cultures. Ellie McWhirter from Denver, East High School, developed a series of educational materials, including a website, to decrease plastic bag usage in her community and increase the knowledge of plastic bag pollution. Isabella Mendoza from Longmont, Silver Creek High School, designed a cheap and sustainable habitat for solitary bees to lay eggs in and distributed more than 350 habitats around Colorado and the world. She also hosted a community event for people to make their own habitat. With the help of local Girl Scout troops, Ashlyn Morrill from Parker, Chaparral High School, created a pollinator garden that attracts various pollinators, including hummingbirds, butterflies, bees, etc. Girls learned the importance of pollinators and were inspired to do their part to help conserve the pollinator populations. Opal Mosbarger from Peyton, Falcon High School, addressed the issue of animal displacement during emergency situations. She collected kennels and blankets for Perfect Fit Wellness Center, so people can keep their pets safe during natural disasters and other emergencies. Wren Murzyn from Fort Collins, Poudre High School, partnered with doctors, nutritionists, and others to create a guidebook to assist individuals who are wanting to get healthy, but don’t know where to start. Meredith Neid from Denver, George Washington High School, started a self-care club at her high school to healthily address rising levels of stress amongst her peers. After the start of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, she adapted her project to include Zoom conversations with high school seniors about processing the pandemic and what it means to grow up during this time. Anna Rahn from Colorado Springs, Pine Creek High School, created 17 STEM activities for schools and after-school programs. Due to the pandemic, she was unable to distribute them to local schools, so she developed a website where PDFs of the activities are available. The Girl Scout Gold Award is the mark of the truly remarkable— earned only by a high school Girl Scout who works to address an issue she’s passionate about in a way that produces meaningful and lasting change. Whether it’s on a local, national, or global level, Gold Award Girl Scouts provide innovative solutions to significant challenges. Of the skills learned through Girl Scouts’ Highest Awards, leadership, organization, and critical thinking are the fundamentals of the Girl Scout Leadership Experience. Universities and colleges offer scholarships unique to Gold Award Girl Scouts, and girls are entitled to enlist at a higher pay grade if they join the military. “Gold Award Girl Scouts don’t just change the world for the better, they change it for good—and these Girl Scouts embody everything this achievement stands for,” said Leanna Clark, Chief Executive Officer of Girl Scouts of Colorado. “Each of these young women addressed an issue that’s important to her in order to earn her Gold Award, and we congratulate each of these Gold Award Girl Scouts on this momentous accomplishment.” You can learn more about these Gold Award Girl Scouts and their projects on the Girl Scouts of Colorado blog. #GoldAward #Arvada #Parker #HighestAwards #ColoradoSprings #NorthernampNortheasternCO #Longmont #GoldAwardGirlScout #GoldAwardGirlScouts #Denver #SteamboatSprings #MountainCommunites #Monument #MetroDenver #TakeAction #FortCollins #PikesPeak #Peyton
