GSEM Bronze Award Project Catalog

Book Drive

Project Details: After learning about an upcoming book fair happening at their school, Keysor Elementary, Juniors from Troop 3181 decided to use this event as an opportunity to give back to their community to earn the Girl Scout Bronze Award. The Girl Scouts created handmade posters and posted to social media to advertise a donation drive to collect gently-used books during the book fair. They also made a wish list of suggested books to donate. After the collection was over, the young leaders sorted and donated 158 books to a local elementary school with less resources available to them.

Bronze Award Team: Troop 3181

Issue: Not all schools have enough books in their library or the funds to purchase more books. Root Cause: Families in these areas have lower incomes and books are considered a luxury.

Target Audience: Kratz Elementary School students.
