The “Together Track” features 19 different learning activities, including gross motor, reading, math, science and art activities, each with the ability to be adapted to meet the needs of a child’s ability level. Emily’s sensory track idea has already piqued the interest of other local parks and schools, and she has every intention of sharing her outlines with them.

Project: Julia’s Letters

Issue: Elderly Issues

Julia motivated children of various ages to draw a picture or write a letter to their pen pal, and encouraged the residents at the hospice center to write back if they were able. The pen pal program fostered intergenerational connections between the pen pals and made the residents feel less lonely.

The compost allows for less food to end up in landfills, and instead to be turned into natural fertilizer for local community gardens. The compost that comes from Hawbridge was given to Saxapahaw Community Garden.

To achieve her goal, she built a fruit washing station at the farm that would allow volunteers to wash produce. By washing and getting the produce out faster, the station reduces food waste. In addition, Katie taught cooking classes to children aged 6-10 to show them how to cook safely using the products from Fresh Fruits Farm. The classes taught concepts relating to knife skills, food sanitation, cooking first-aid and how to cook healthy meals.

Many children who receive food from food banks do not have the knowledge of how to prepare food, especially when their parents are away at work. With the goal of educating children and expanding the reach of First Fruit Farm, a local farm and food bank, Sarah converted a school bus into a mobile chicken coop. The mobile coop allowed for more eggs to be distributed throughout food insecure communities and initiated a fun program for children.

Bronze Award

Girl Scouts

Girl Scouting’s Bronze Award

The Girl Scout Bronze Award is a leadership adventure embarked on by over half a million Girl Scout Juniors across our movement — including 377 Juniors from Girl Scouts - North Carolina Coastal Pines. This award embodies the spirit of teamwork and individual skills application towards making a significant difference in the world. The adventure is the highest honor a Girl Scout Junior can achieve. The journey towards this award fosters confidence, introduces the Girl Scouts to new people, and instills in them the fulfillment that comes from collaborating with other Girl Scouts to enact positive change. As you venture into this Girl Scout Bronze Award adventure, you become a representative of what Girl Scouts can accomplish in their communities, all while having fun and making the experience enjoyable for everyone involved.

Steps to the Bronze Award

As a Girl Scout, you are expected to navigate this process with courage, confidence, and character, ultimately making a difference in the world around you. To earn the Girl Scout Bronze Award, there is a specific process you need to follow:

• Begin your Girl Scout Junior Journey.

• Form your Girl Scout Junior team for collaboration.

• Explore your community and identify areas for improvement.

• Choose your Girl Scout Bronze Award project based on your interests and skills.

• Create a detailed plan for project execution.

• Execute your project plan.

• Broadcast your project, journey, and achievements with others.

• Aim for a minimum time commitment of 20 hours per Girl Scout.
