September 2024 & #Sisterhood — Fall 2024

Page 1


Letter from Rolinda

Welcome to our joint edition of the Spark and Sisterhood publications. Share this edition within your family and community to help others learn how Girl Scouting impacts youth. This edition can be used when inviting others to join Girl Scouts so they can realize the opportunities available to them in addition to the fun, educational badges and higher awards happening at the Juliette, troop and service unit levels.

This membership year, we are celebrating the Girl Scouts of Kansas Heartland Council Centennial. During the membership year, our council will celebrate 100 years by engaging Girl Scouts of all ages from across the council in acts of community service, participation in Daisy Circle and more! I hope that you will join in the fun and the spirit of helping others while we celebrate our Girl Scout Sisterhood. See page 4 for more information.

You are invited to attend the Recognition Breakfast and Annual Meeting on Saturday, November 2, in Wichita. The council-wide celebration of volunteers and Gold Award Girl Scouts is a special time to recognize those who continue to positively impact Girl Scouting and their communities. The annual meeting is a time where Girl Scout members age 14 through adult share their voice as new volunteer members of Board Development Committee and Board of Directors are elected. See page 4 for more information on the Recognition Breakfast and Annual Meeting.

Need a fun thank you gift? The Girl Scouts of Kansas Heartland Council patch has been updated and is available through our shops in Hays and Wichita. The patch continues to honor tradition by incorporating components representing our legacy councils while incorporating new Girl Scouts of the USA branding plus the fun addition of an iconic Kansas yellow brick road.

Thank you for supporting Girl Scout experiences in so many ways!

Thank you to our donors!

Recognition Breakfast & Annual Meeting

Saturday, November 2

9 a.m.

Wichita State University

Rhatigan Student Center

Beggs Ballrooms 1&2

Members 14 and older are invited Register by October 27

Members from across the council are invited to gather for the 2024 Recognition Breakfast & Annual Meeting. This year, attendees will have the option to attend the meeting online through Teams right from their own home/location or attend in person at the new location this year on the main Wichita State University campus. After the Annual Meeting portion is adjourned, we will begin our ceremony where we honor our valued volunteers who are receiving awards as well as our Bronze, Silver and Gold Award Girl Scouts.

Council Centennial

Since 1925, the Girl Scouts of Kansas Heartland Council, in conjunction with the legacy councils, has made history— and made our presence known—across the state. We are celebrating 100 years since the formation in 1925 of a nationally recognized council across our current council service area. Join us as we take this coming year to celebrate this milestone. We are honored to provide a space for girls to dream big, be themselves, and find adventure for the next 100 years.

Details concerning all of the upcoming celebrations will be announced at the Annual Meeting on Nov. 2, but read further to learn more about the 100 Acts of Service and 100 new Daisy Circle members.

100 Acts of Service

As part of our centennial celebration, 2025 also marks the 75th anniversary of the Festival of Giving. This annual tradition of giving back to our communities began in 1950 when Girl Scout troops dressed dolls and displayed them in a Doll Festival. The dolls were then distributed to local and overseas agencies for children who might not receive Christmas presents. In more recent years, the Festival of Giving is celebrated by troops and service units coming together to select an organization and fulfill a wish list of needs for that agency. In 2025, we want Girl Scouts to think even bigger! Join us in the Festival of Giving challenge, aiming to document 100 acts of service—that's 100 ways of giving back to our communities—completed by Girl Scouts in the

month of November. Members can participate as individuals, with their families, as a troop, or join forces with the troops in their service unit. Every Girl Scout youth who participates will receive a special Festival of Giving patch.

Check out the Festival of Giving website page for more information.

100 New Daisy Circle members

Embracing our past, celebrating the present and building a future for the next generation of girl leaders!

Help the Girl Scouts of Kansas Heartland Council to continue to empower leadership skills in young girls by becoming a member of the Daisy’s Circle.

We are seeking 100 new Daisy Circle members to give in celebration of our council centennial. It’s easy, quick and your consistent monthly gift will provide girls with opportunities to develop self-esteem, enduring friendships and life-changing leadership skills. Through activities in science and technology, business and economic literacy and outdoor and environmental awareness, Girl Scouts learn to be leaders of themselves and their communities.

Join Daisy’s Circle today by completing your secure donation at kansasgirlscouts.org or if you have additional questions or need help, please email us at kpeters@gskh.org

Council Centennial
Girl Scouts of Kansas Heartland

Kansas Heartland Scholars

Congratulations to four graduating Girl Scouts for being awarded scholarships to pursue their goals in higher education. Three Girl Scouts earned the Sandy Remsberg Education Scholarship. One Girl Scout earned the Council Gold Award Scholarship sponsored by Healthy Blue.

Gillian Hunt

Gillian has been an active Girl Scout for eight years. Starting as a Junior Girl Scout, Gillian found herself immersed in the world of STEM that Girl Scouts has to offer. She is a member of a specialty troop focusing on Robotics and STEM. Since 2018, her troop robo-team has earned many awards, including first place in Expert Notebook Documentation, first place in Expert Display and first place in Intermediate Interview. Additionally, she was Team Captain for the troop’s first LEGO Robotics competition.

“Being a part of the RoboTroop has taught me mechanical and technical skills as well as team building, leadership and speaking skills.”

Gillian is pursuing a degree in Aerospace Engineering at Wichita State University. After college graduation, she aspires to join an aerospace company in the hopes to make aircraft as reliable and versatile as possible with the use of technological advancements and to find unique solutions regarding the adaptability of air travel technology.

Lillian McLaughlin

Lillian has been an active Girl Scout for 13 years. Lillian has completed all three Highest Awards: The Bronze, Silver and Gold Awards.

For her Gold Award, Lillian created the mural

“You Are Not Alone” on the side of a local business. In the mural, there is a QR Code that viewers can scan which leads them to a webpage that has resources for LGBTQ+ teens including mental health crisis information, local organizations, medical information and more. She has also become a Four-Star Recipient of the P.R.A.Y. Awards. Lillian’s Girl Scout experience has culminated within her passions for community service, travel, the arts and advocacy.

“With my Gold Award project, I was able to have an effect on the community and to publicize the positive effect that Girl Scouting has on the lives of both members and those around us.”

Lillian is attending the University of Kansas to pursue a major in psychology and minors in dance and pottery.

She plans to complete her doctorate in psychology so she can have a larger impact on the mental health of those in the LGBTQ+ community.

Trinadee Fetters

Trinadee has been an active Girl Scout for 13 years. She has completed both the Bronze and Silver Awards and is currently working towards her Gold Award. As a Girl Scout since kindergarten, Trinadee has had a wellrounded Girl Scout experience from STEM, summer camp and getting outdoors, community service projects with her troop and making new friends. Her passion for community service has led her to work on all the Highest Awards so she can make a difference in her community and make the world a better place.

“Girl Scouts has taught me to never take anything for granted,” Trinadee said. “Doing community service and helping others has taught me that you never know what is happening to someone else.”

Trinadee wants to continue making the world a better place and serving others by becoming a veterinarian, specifically for large animals. She is attending Kansas State University and plans to pursue her doctorate.

Council Gold Award Scholarship Recipient

Kaley Mulligan

Kaley has been an active Girl Scout for 14 years. Kaley has completed all the highest Awards (Bronze, Silver and Gold Award) earned numerous badges, journeys, the Summit Award in most Girl Scout levels, the Mariner Pin, the Trailblazer Pin, the My Promise My Faith pin in every level and the Leader in Action Mentoring Award. Her passion for Girl Scouts lies in the opportunity to learn more while helping those and the world around her.

“Being a Girl Scout is not just something you dress up for and go do once in a while, but rather, it is a way of life.”

Kaley is pursuing a degree in nursing starting with earning her general education courses at Butler County Community College and transferring to The University of Kansas to complete her nursing degree. After earning her nursing degree, she would like to continue her education to become a Nurse Practitioner and join the military to use her nursing skills in the service.

Sandy Remsberg Scholarship Recipients

GSUSA Gold Award Scholar

Girl Scouts has always been an important part of Lillian McLaughlin’s life as she has been a member since kindergarten. Over the course of her 13 years as a Girl Scout, she’s encountered many opportunities including learning new skills, earning badges, traveling the nation and even becoming a Gold Award Girl Scout.

As an advocate for the LGBTQ+ community, Lillian knew she wanted her Gold Award project to focus on helping her peers that identify as LGBTQ+. Researching how she can serve her community, Lillian learned through The Trevor Project that LGBTQ+ teens are four times more likely to consider, plan and die by suicide than non-LGBTQ+ teens. She also learned that 48 percent of LGBTQ+ youth reported wanting counseling from a mental health professional, but were unable to receive it.

This knowledge led Lillian to create the mural “You are Not Alone” on the side of Hao Auto Repair near Wichita East High School. As she began her project, Lillian struggled to find a local business in the downtown-area that had open space for a mural. This led her to reach out to the Wichita City Council and (former) Mayor Brandon Whipple to help her find mural space.

Lillian presented to the city council and spoke during a media briefing about the plan for her project and the impact she was hoping it would have on the community. She then connected with local entrepreneur and business owner Andrew Gough who utilized his connections to help Lillian partner with Hao Auto Repair.

Lillian’s mural was created with the help of more than 80 volunteers, ages 5-85 years old. In the mural, there is a QR Code that viewers can scan which leads them to a webpage she created. The page is housed by Reverie Roasters, Andrew Gough’s business, and has resources for LGBTQ+ teens including mental health crisis information, local organizations, medical information and more.

“I knew I wanted to help a community that I’m part of and specifically help people my age get the resources they need,” Lillian said. “Ideally, the mural helps connect them to resources they may not have access to elsewhere and they can get the help they are needing or wanting.”

Lillian has wrapped up her years as a girl member and is excited to look forward to her future and reflects on how Girl Scouts has made an impact on her life.

“I don’t think I would’ve had the opportunities I’ve had over the years if I wasn’t a Girl Scout,” Lillian said. “I’m so grateful for being awarded the GSUSA Gold Award Scholarship because it’s going to significantly impact my college career and allow me to pursue my passions.”

Lillian is attending The University of Kansas this fall with a major in psychology. Her goal is to get a doctorate in psychology so she can become a therapist for those in the LGBTQ+ community with a focus on helping youth.

As she heads into her future, she has one piece of advice for her fellow Girl Scouts.

"The project was so fun for me,” Lillian said. “I was able to combine my art passion, LGBTQ+ passion and mental health passion and create a project that showcased who I am. The Gold Award is hard and it is a lot of work, but you just have to keep going. The end result is so amazing and worth it.”

Cookie Recap

$1,000 Care & Share Donation Supports Kansas Military

Girl Scout Makenna H. has known the Quinn family for many years. During the 2024 cookie season, the Quinn family supported Makenna's cookie sale by purchasing 100 boxes of cookies that they shared with members of the military.

Through Makenna, the Quinn's purchased $1,000 in Care & Shares. Their donation went directly to McConnell Air Force Base.

"My parents have no personal military experience, but they have a deep appreciation for the sacrifice of those that serve our country," Kirby Quinn Jr., said. "They give generously to several outreaches and while the cookies are a small gift, they are a pleasure to provide."

Wilderness first aid is the assessment of, and treatment given to an ill or injured person in a remote environment where definitive care of a physician and/or rapid transport is not readily available.

Time is the essential element distinguishing wilderness first aid from standard first aid.

Prerequisites for this course include Adult CPR and AED. Basic first aid and outdoor camping training is recommended.
