1 GSACPC partnered with Ford Driving Skills for Life, which offers teen driver training clinics. A group of 25 Senior and Ambassador Girl Scouts participated in a fun-filled day of hands-on driver training with Ford Mustangs. From basic driving safety to distracted and impaired driving courses, the girls had the opportunity to learn advanced skills they’ll need to know to get out on the roads on their own. After the clinic, the girls received a special Ford Driving Skills for Life patch to proudly wear on their uniforms - letting the world know that they are well-informed on driving safety! 2 Troop 3235 earned first place for their float at the Mayer Daze Parade in Mayer, AZ. Their float was decked out in Girl Scout style with a fake tent and horses around a campfire! This troop of Daisies and Brownies had never participated in a parade or made a parade float, and felt incredibly proud to hear their work won an award! We can’t wait to see what they can continue to accomplish as a team!

3 Jessica from Troop 527 recently completed her Silver Award. She was inspired to put together “Comfort Bags” for cancer patients at Virginia G. Piper Cancer Center after her mother went through her first rounds of chemotherapy. The bags were filled with things that would bring patients comfort while receiving treatment, including a notebook with pens and pencils, gum, Chapstick, lotion, Kleenex, and so much more. Jessica hand-delivered the bags to patients who expressed their gratitude for her work. Thanks to Jessica, patients at Virginia G. Piper Cancer Center had a more comfortable experience during a difficult time. 4 Shea and Mackenzie from Troop 1827 wanted to inspire more people to get out and hike, so for their Silver Award, the Cadettes provided hiking sticks for hikers needing additional support. They began by proposing the idea to the Glendale Parks and Recreation, who approved the installation of a hiking sticks storage container at the Thunderbird Conservatory Mountain! Shea and Mackenzie encouraged their community to donate hiking sticks and found local contractors to help build the storage container. Once they completed their project, Glendale Parks and Recreation awarded the girls with a Certificate of Appreciation!
