GSEM Bronze Award Project Catalog

Gaga Ball Building

Project Details: After enjoying their time playing Gaga Ball at Girl Scout Camp in the summer, Troop 387 decided to share their love of the game with their peers at Jefferson Intermediate to earn the Bronze Award. The Girl Scouts developed a plan and presented their idea to the principal and parents. Once approved, they created a building blueprint, a budget and a supply list. The Juniors worked for two days building the Gaga Ball pit and installing it at Jefferson Intermediate. The game is now an area for students to socialize and reconnect outside of the classroom.

Bronze Award Team: Troop 387

Issue: Students at Jefferson Intermediate needed to be able to gather and socialize with others in the grade(s).

Root Cause: Students entering into Jefferson Intermediate come from several

elementary schools and do not always have a chance to see each other outside of academic time.

Target Audience: All students in Jefferson Intermediate.
