GSEM Bronze Award Project Catalog

Spreading Hygiene and Hope

Project Details: To earn their Girl Scout Bronze Award, Juniors from Troop 2303 wanted to support youth in need who may be experiencing hardships in their everyday lives. After learning about the lack of toiletry items provided to those in need, the Girl Scouts organized a donation drive to obtain these resources to assist youth with maintaining hygiene. The Girl Scouts had found that toiletry items aid in cleanliness and help with general physical health. As a result, mental health improves as it’s been shown that being clean can positively impact self-worth and self-esteem. The Juniors donated the collected items to youth in need.
