FACT: Girl Scouts are statistically more likely to grow up and: - Graduate from college - Be an active volunteer and engaged with her community - Vote and be civically engaged - Make more money than girls who were not in Girl Scouts - Be more satisfied with their life Source: Girl Scouts Alumnae Impact Study, Girl Scout Research Institute, 2012
The Future is so bright! 5
Girl Scout Scholarships rland Envision Badge larship Recipient S ch o “I am the first Girl Scout to graduate from Cassville High School in many years. I help plan and run meetings for Junior and Cadette troops. Girl Scouting has challenged me to step outside of my comfort zone, to tackle new things and meet new people. The life lessons I have learned in Girl Scouts will continue to guide me."
~ Kyran Brinkman, Cassville rland Envision Badge larship Recipient S ch o “Throughout my high school career, I have accumulated over 300 hours of service. I volunteer my time to places like the homeless shelter, children's hospital, clothes closet and other places to both see the needs of my community while being part of the solution. Girl Scouts opened my eyes to a whole new world where I am capable of taking on the impossible!"
~ Maggie Conway, Mount Horeb 6
Girl Scout Scholarships rland Envision Badge larship Recipient o h c S “Part of me is terrified about the future but another part of me is all Girl Scout. I will be a Go-Getter and earn two majors. I will be an Innovator when figuring out how to live away from my parents. I will be a Risk-Taker everyday when I live a part of my life I have never experienced before. I will be a Leader as I look out for the people I care about. Being a Girl Scout isn't a tool in my belt for handling life. It's the belt that let me have all the tools."
~ Zoe Zander, Waunakee a Himmelsbach Lorett arship Recipient S ch o l “Girl Scouting shaped me and the foundation of my life and morals. I will always be a Girl Scout. No matter how far I go, I am surrounded all around the world by my sisters. I will forever be a part of that sisterhood of girls who know that the world will never change for the better if we don't do something about the problems."
~ Morgan Radaj, Whitewater This scholarship is available to Gold Awardees. One recipient is chosen on the basis of community service, extra curricular involvement and leadership.

Girl Scouting’s Highest Award The Girl Scout Gold Award is the most prestigious award that Girl Scout Seniors and Ambassadors can earn. Fulfilling the requirements for the Girl Scout Gold Award starts with completing prerequisites designed to develop the leadership skills needed to accomplish a Girl Scout Gold Award project. This award represents a girl’s commitment to herself and to her community as she focuses on leadership, career exploration, personal challenges and completes an enduring project that will benefit her community. It takes many hours of preparation, planning and work to accomplish the goals a girl has set for herself through her Gold Award Project. It is notable that only about five percent of eligible girls earn this award! A special note to today’s Gold Awardees: As a Girl Scout, you are part of the sisterhood of the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts, a global movement comprised of more than 10 million girls who are using their talents to positively impact their communities. With your talent and passion, you can make changes in your community that reach people around the world. Congratulations on your remarkable achievement! 8

Rainbow Monkey Music Room
Safe Driving Campaign
Hannah has always believed that music education is important. When she saw that the music room at the camp her brother attends was looking shabby and none too inspiring, she took action. She stepped up and rehabbed the room so all campers could learn more about music and different instruments.
After losing a friend in a car accident, Emily promised to never text and drive and to always wear her seatbelt. But she wanted to do more. For her Gold Award project, Emily coordinated a week-long safe driving campaign that included speakers, activities and memorial bracelets. As a result, 300 of her peers pledged to put down their phones and buckle up.
As a go-getter, when Hannah sees something that needs improving, she charges forward and takes action. In this case, with great fanfare, she took a downbeat music room and transformed it into a beautiful space worthy of the harmonious sounds it now inspires. “The most successful part of my project was making the room bright, colorful, welcoming and enjoyable from the prison-like state it was in."
Emily overcame her share of challenges throughout the project, but says it was all worth it when her classmates began opening up to her and sharing their heartfelt thanks. “What I learned from doing my Gold Award project was that, though some things can be hard, if you put your mind to it you can definitely achieve your goals." 9

Crescent Valley Park Restoration
Get the Log Rolling
Andrea is an outdoor girl and took notice when her local park started to look neglected. She stepped in and developed a plan for an accessible and environmentally-friendly new park. Her goal was to create a place where every person in the community could come and enjoy the outdoors.
Jessica's respect for tradition and Wisconsin history was the motivator behind her project. She wanted to reintroduce a sport that was important to her hometown back in the 19th century — log rolling!
Andrea's project required her to work closely with the city for zoning permissions and to research new playground equipment. She developed a plan and presented it to city officials (including City Council), since the park would be on public property. The project included an all-new pollinator garden, bee condo and a bike rack.
It's not easy to keep you balance while stepping across a spinning log but there's a whole new crop of folks in Sparta who sure do make it look easy! Working with the city's parks and recreation department, Jessica developed log rolling classes and demonstrated the sport at elementary schools. Bonus? Her class is still going strong and will continue to be offered through the Sparta Parks Department so people of all ages can enjoy and learn about this old-time activity.
“The leadership skills that I developed throughout this project were communication, responsibility, budgeting, research and receiving feedback."
“I learned that in order to be an effective leader you sometimes have to step out of your comfort zone. I also learned that I can do anything I want to!"

Individually Registered Member, Lancaster
Troop 2331, Middleton
Rise & Shine Beverage Bar
Helping Homeless Families
Savannah had a 90-minute commute to school and two part-time jobs, leaving little time for sleep, studies and self-care. After learning that other students at her rural school didn't have access to healthy food options either, she went to work to bring a beverage bar to her high school.
Homelessness in her hometown sparked Emily's project. She partnered with the YWCA, which provides temporary shelter for families in need. Emily focused an transforming the living areas to be more child-friendly and welcoming for the families passing through. She also collected practical household items for families to take with them when they moved on.
Savannah developed recipes, recruited and managed a staff, shopped for inventory, and tracked sales. Upon graduation, Savannah donated her equipment and supplies to the school's special education program, which continues to run the Rise & Shine. “I learned that I have a passion for business and I enjoy it. I also learned that I am determined and have drive I enjoy sharing with others.“
Along with making the living spaces happier, she also created a Public Service Announcement that aired on local media channels to bring awareness to homelessness. That PSA prompted citizens to support the Y's homelessness initiative. “I learned a lot from this project, and I will continue to carry the skills that I learned into the future. And with this confidence I will continue to go out and learn from those experiences too.”

Little Trolls with Trowels Community Garden
Senior Stories
Let's get kids outdoors! That's the driver for Eliza's Gold Award project that spanned the planning, installation and maintenance of the children’s community school plot. She created different programs for kids to join so they could spend more time outdoors enjoying the fresh air. Throughout her project Eliza brought awareness to kids about the importance of being outdoors. They got to see food growing before their eyes, complete different creative projects and try new vegetables they had never even heard of before.

“I learned about what it takes for me to self-regulate on a long-term project. I also learned how to balance my other responsibilities with this project. Which I think is an important skill for a leader to have.”
Nya cherishes her town’s history and noticed there was an increasing disconnection between the generations when it came to the community's past. So, she set out to capture stories, memories and anecdotes to preserve these moments for posterity. Nya worked with the Mount Horeb Area Historical Society to record, transcribe and archive oral stories by older residents, including many living in an assisted living facility. Of course gathering the stories is one thing - connecting them into a consistent record is another...and Nya did that. She wrote and condensed, and created a treasure that is now available for anyone to read online, hosted by the Historical Society. “Some people shared deeply moving and personal stories of which I felt privileged to have heard. Knowing they are being preserved and shared with generations gives me much pride and satisfaction.”

Prairie Nursery
High School Acapella Group
Sara noticed that preserving nature is not necessarily a priority during new infrastructure construction. As a lover of the environment, she wanted to find a sustainable way to bring beauty back to the community, create more animal habitats and offset CO2 production.
Beautiful music can be created without pianos, strings and horns. So thinks Rose, who was dismayed to discover her school did not give students extra curricular opportunities to express themselves in song. She changed this by creating an acapella group that all students could join.
Working with the National Heritage Land Trust and her high school, Sara developed a prairie nursery to grow rare and hard-to-collect plants. How does it work? The seeds from these plants are used to replant both species in their natural habitat. It's literally reseeding sustainability! The Land Trust and school will take over care of the nursery in the future.
It's not an easy feat to start something from scratch but that's what Rose did as she discovered her leadership voice! She conceived of a space where students would feel safe and welcome. She created the song arrangements, scheduled practices and organized it all. She even recorded the performances!
“I feel more confident in my own skills and my ability to lead others after doing my Gold Award project.”
“The most successful aspect of my project was the environment that it created. I felt it was a very collaborative and fun environment where all of the members could be themselves.”

Accessibility of the MMSD Summer Food Program
Helping the Karner Blue Butterfly
Summers can be challenging for some families dependent on the National School Lunch Program. Allison's project addressed the inequity of food access to children in the Madison Metropolitan School District during the summer. Allison conducted research to reveal the root of the problem and discovered the Latino community was under served because of language barriers. In fact, it was Allison's work that revealed one solution: to have bilingual staff at each meal site. Allison collaborated with MMSD, REAP Food Group and Community Action Coalition in an effort to better ensure equal access to food for all families.

“The greatest skill I developed from this project was confidence in networking.”
Olivia knew the Karner Blue Butterfly was endangered so she took action. Through research, she learned that the Wild Lupine helps sustain the butterfly. Together she and her school district found a safe place to grow these plants. She also developed a program that teaches students about endangered animals that could be living in their own backyard. This program encourages students to be more environmentally conscious of their actions. It also gives them ideas on what they can do to limit the harm they do to the environment. “I learned that time management is something that has to be thought through, and to be flexible to any change that might come up”
Girl Scout Silver Award Skill Building. Leadership. Personal Growth. The Girl Scout Silver Award is the highest award a Girl Scout Cadette can earn. The Silver Award represents a girl’s accomplishments in Girl Scouting and in her community as she grows and works to improve her life and the lives of others. Working in a group or individually, girls select projects that help them build skills, explore careers and gain leadership. Girls earning their Silver Awards this year have proven that they are community leaders who are organized, determined and dedicated to improving their communities. These Girl Scouts are true go-getters!

Ariana Demuth Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Education Troop 1144 Fitchburg CO poisoning is very harmful to the body and it was being overlooked in my community. I changed this by filming a miniseries about its harmful effects.
Eve Binkley Library Book Review Troop 2082 Madison I have always loved to read and wanted to encourage younger people to read more, so I started reviewing books. This helped them learn more about the books so they can see if they were interested in reading them.
Isabella Gunter Yearbook Club Troop 2082 Madison The yearbook was always made by parents. But I wanted it to be filled with students' memories of the past school year, so I created a yearbook club so we could have more influence.
Samantha Niemeyer Maya Panzer Rainbow Chairs Troop 2250 Fox Lake, Waupun We noticed that the chairs in a 4k classroom were chipping and fading. So we scraped the paint and sanded them down without breaking them. Then we painted them bright rainbow colors!

Tifany Shaw Assistant to my Dog and Other Dogs Troop 2311 Sun Prairie There were a few dog attacks in my community over the past year and I wanted to reduce the amount of dog bites per year. I gave presentations about how to care for dogs and what to do if you are attacked.
Ruth McLeod Alynn McLeod Little Libraries Troop 2331 Middleton There was a noticeable lack of access to reading resources and materials in the community so we built three little libraries for our community.

Payton Collins Mikayla Howard Isabel Wolllangk Fleece Blankets for Moms Troop 2797 Stoughton We worked with the Women’s Care Center to make tie blankets to be used by the women in need who come to the Care Center. The blankets will keep them warm and remind them that we are thinking of them.

2019 Silver Award Recipients
Kallen Erlandson Invasive Species in Middleton Troop 2867 Middleton There is an increasing amount of invasive plants in my community. I created a website detailing all the invasive flora that includes a guide for how to get rid of these plants and links for further information and research.

Kaidynn Engel Jadyn Hildebrand Abby Juszczyk Sofia Lyons Buddy Benches Troop 3514 Genoa City We noticed that neither the elementary nor middle school had a buddy bench. We decided to take action and build benches ourselves so that students and faculty could use them during their breaks.
Lexi Friberg Abby Fry Garden Bench Veggie Stand Troop 3518 Elkhorn & Williams Bay It is important to eat healthy. We built a tool bench and a vegetable stand in the local community garden. The bench gives the gardeners a place to put their tools and the stand is the perfect place for people to sell their fresh veggies.
Emily Lange May Venegas Lions Field GaGa Pit
Julianna Gates-Guerrero Spreading the Awareness of Dog Training for Autistic Children Troop 3101 Beloit Having a service dog can help a child with autism. I educated my community about the Endeavor Service Dog Training Program for children with autism and encouraged people to volunteer as program trainers.
Elizabeth Halverson School/Community Work Troop 3253 Brooklyn I helped kids improve their math and language skills during the summer. While these kids increased their math and language skills, it also boosted their confidence.

I delivered all the bags I made in person to help make a difference to those less fortunate than me.
Troop 3518 Williams Bay There was empty space in the Lions Field Park. We built a gaga pit here for everyone to use. This gaga pit will encourage people to go outside and play the game while also getting some exercise.
Kate Fechner Emily Fechner Matilda Vidal Soul Soothing Blankets Troop 4054 La Crosse & West Salem There was an increasing number of animals in the local animal shelter. So, we provided tie blankets, toys and other pet-related items for the rescues.

2019 Silver Award Recipients Amalia Bachmann Logann Sackmaster Where’s My Book, Ms. Zucco Troop 4294 Bangor & West Salem Our teacher Ms. Zucco had so many books they didn’t all fit on her bookshelf. We built her a new bookshelf and organized all of the books for her so they were easier to find as well.
Taylor Henthorne Ella Manske Madalyn Smoot Concession Stand Revamp Troop 4377 Sparta We raised money to put a new roof on the concession stand in a local park. We also painted the rest of the building. We wanted to leave our mark on the park we love and bring some beauty to it.

Madelynne Pehl La Crosse Goat Agility Equipment Troop 4444 Holmen After going to the county fair last year, I discovered they were using equipment that seemed unsafe for the goats. So I decided to build safe agility equipment and donate it to the fairgrounds so it could be used for years to come.
Baylee Oliver Mental Health Project Troop 4589 Westby Many people are affected by mental health. I raised awareness for some of the most common mental illnesses by creating a pamphlet. This highlighted different symptoms and where to go to seek help.

Trista Rumppe Showing Goats Troop 4589 Westby As a lover of goats, I wanted to enlist others to become involved in the goat project. I found a person who loves goats and gave her one and mentored her to be involved in the county fair and goat project.
Cecilia Skemp Stephanie Skemp Amber Taggart Petite Pantry Project Troop 4650 La Crosse We created a petite pantry in our community. This is like “little libraries” but instead of books it provides hygiene products that someone needs but don’t have access to them at home.
Rachel Johnson Teen Advisory Board Troop 5410 Platteville As a lover of the library, I felt it was important for teens to give their input and thoughts to the library. Creating this advisory board also encourages teens to participate with the local library.
Mara Geiwitz Bowling Education Troop 8092 La Crosse I noticed that over years the enrollment in the youth bowling program was low. The instructor and I went around and talked to local kids in the community about the program and what it has to offer.
Ariel Nelson Cases for Smiles Individually Registered Member Hustisford For my project, I made pillowcases and donated them to kids in Madison and Milwaukee that had been diagnosed with cancer. I wanted to bring a smile to their face even if it was just over something small.
Girl Scout Bronze Award Changing the World Through Teamwork The Girl Scout Bronze Award is the highest honor a Girl Scout Junior can achieve.

Savannah From your first day as a Daisy to receiving your Gold Award, you've dedicated most of your life to Girl Scouts. We hope you are as proud of yourself as we are of you!! This adventure has seen you sell hundreds of cookies, knocking on doors rain or shine. It had you fearing camp, and made you want to go back year after year once you got the hang of it! Along the way you met some amazing and inspirational women, you spoke to thousands at Girl Scouts 100th birthday celebration, were a troop assistant, a co-leader, you earned your Program Aide, your Religious, Silver, and Gold Awards; not to mention the countless Journeys and badges in between. You've grown into a young woman with the confidence, courage, and character that only a lifetime member of Girl Scouts could have! These traits will always be there to help guide you in the right direction and will help you stand out above many others! You are an inspiration to those that know you and we hope you know that being a Girl Scout is a major reason why!! With all our love, Mom and Dad 23
