GSEM Bronze Award Project Catalog

Foster Care Awareness

Project Details: For their Bronze Award project, these young changemakers wanted to educate their peers and community about children in foster care. After researching and gathering facts, the Girl Scouts created posters with these stats and hung them around their school. Troop 3129 held two events to share their new found information and collect donations for a local foster care agency. At the first event, the troop ran a Girl Scout Cookie rally that included a station for participants to learn about foster care. They also hosted a collection drive at their school and set up a table at a school event to collect items.
