Girl Scouts of Vallejo lead with Service

In honor of Global Volunteer Month, the City would like to highlight a group that is doing excellent volunteer work in the Vallejo Community.

Over the winter of 2022-2023 the City of Vallejo had the pleasure of working with Girl Scout Troop 20067 of Vallejo to support the success of the Extreme Weather Centers, often referred to as the warming centers. The Girls Scouts committed to providing a hot meal at every opening. Even with an extreme winter that prompted 25 openings as of April 2023, they consistently delivered hot soup and other snacks, which was greatly appreciated and anticipated by those utilizing the centers. The Girl Scouts have organized soup prep days and prepared soup during troop meetings, which they delivered to the center when it opened. In addition to providing soup, the younger members worked with an ER nurse to prepare first aid kits for the Extreme Weather Center guests.

Girl Scout Troop 20067 has existed for 11 years and currently has members from 2nd grade through high school who have consistently committed to supporting the unhoused community in Vallejo. The Girl

Scouts have knitted scarves, collected coats and socks, put together blessings bags, donated handwarmers, dog food and meals to unhoused neighbors through organizations such as Vallejo Together, A Hand Up, and other community groups.

The troop is girl-led and over the past few years have been successful in bringing the diverse interests of all its members into the work that they do. The troop has been keen in identifying problems in the world, and together do research to come up with and implement solutions. For example, the girls learned that during the wildfires in Northern California many people lost their pets during emergency evacuations. In response to this, the troop organized a microchipping event to help increase access to this critical service. This solution will allow for individuals and families to more easily be reunited with their pet if another emergency were to occur or if the pet ran away. Additionally, they have placed flags at Sunrise Cemetery for Veterans Day and Memorial Day with other scouts , and worked on combatting drought and pollution and doing community clean-ups.

Overall, the purpose of the Girl Scout program is to produce girls with courage, confidence and character. Every troop interprets and focuses on different projects. In Troop 20067, the girls are focused on local service projects and tackling different societal issues. With the skills they gained and the community that they form, they can transition into adulthood knowing that they can make change. Local troop leader Erin Tator says that she hopes that the girls enter “the world knowing they are a powerful force and can impact anything they choose.” The impact is also deeply felt by the girls, Elizabeth Baker (age 10) says that she enjoys making new friends and appreciates learning about goal setting, decision making, money management and business ethics.

The City of Vallejo values the contribution of the Girls Scouts of Vallejo, Troop 20067 and is eager to continue to partner with them in the future. We would like to wish them the best of luck on their current and future projects in the City.
