Hillsborough Clean Communities Litter Kit "Unbagging"

Hi!  We are Colleen and Gunja from Troop 60640!  We are working on our Silver Award project about the environment and the human impact on them. Specifically, we are focusing on litter.

Silver Award: Reflect, Share Your Story, and Celebrate - Memory Book Making

Hi, I’m Meghana G from Troop 60640. My Silver Award Project was to spread awareness about Alzheimer's and other forms of Dementia. I did this by working with an organization called Grace Healthcare Services to create memory books for patients with Alzheimer’s and Dementia. I worked with many other Girl Scouts to create these memory books, and the subject matter of the books ranged from food, to clothes, to wild animals. The books were fun to make, and even though there were some issues with meeting due to the pandemic, I was able to successfully help others understand what Dementia is, and why it is so important to know about.

Breathe Journey videos/poster

As part of the Cadette Breathe Journey, the girls investigated, well, breathing!

For their take action projects, they explored some different aspects of ways to improve breathing, from the dangers of smoking and ways to avoid it, to taking time to "breathe" to improve their physical and emotional well-being.

Some of the girls of Troop 60640 decided to get together to discuss our Bronze Award project supporting displaced local animals.  In the course of preparing it they made a few oops moments that they wanted to share too.
