To earn her Gold Award, Nicole knew she wanted to make an impact on the environment in her community. So, Nicole planted a pollinator garden and made solitary bee houses out of recycled materials to increase the bee population.

Carly combined her passions of writing and Girl Scouts to instill the value of literature and creative writing to earn her Gold Award. Throughout her four- day creative writing workshop, the campers worked on short stories that Carly published into a book and donated to the Crisis Nursery.
