GSEM Bronze Award Project Catalog

Crafts for Kids

Project Details: To earn their Girl Scout Bronze Award, Troop 3756 decided to uplift pediatric patients during their long stays in the hospital by creating craft kits and activity bags. The Juniors researched a variety of crafts and activities to find the best options that were hospital friendly before finalizing a list of activities to include. After making sample crafts for reference, the Girl Scouts made instructions for each activity and worked together to assemble the bags. These young leaders created more than a thousand craft and activity bags that were then donated to a local hospital for the children undergoing treatments.
