GSEM Silver Award Project Catalog

Banners for the Idea Center

Project Details: Girl Scouts from Troop 333 earned their Silver Award by transforming a newly-built learning facility at Lindbergh High School into a colorful, welcoming space designed to spark creativity and perseverance. When the troop noticed the center’s bare walls, they envisioned an environment that would encourage students to embrace open-minded thinking. So, they created a series of hand-painted canvas banners featuring vibrant designs and motivational quotes. The artwork can be displayed permanently or rotated throughout the building, ensuring flexibility as the school’s needs evolve. The banners were unveiled to parents, educators, and students through the school’s weekly newsletter, and one troop member presented the project at a Parent-Teacher Group meeting to further involve the community.

Issue: Many school-aged children experience low self-esteem. Root Cause: Many reasons can cause low self-esteem, like bullying and discouragement.

Target Audience: Students in grades K-5 at Lindbergh.

Sustainability: The Cadettes left their contact

information on the back of the banners, that way if the school needed to take them down, the girls could find a new location for them.
