GSEM Silver Award Project Catalog

Tasty Treats

Project Details: To earn their Girl Scout Silver Award, Cadettes from Troop 152 partnered with Five Acres Animal Shelter to provide new pet owners with healthy treats and enrichment toys. After brainstorming as a group, the Girl Scouts made different healthy treats, dog toys and cat toys. The Cadettes then made pamphlets for the shelter to hand out to new pet owners. The pamphlets covered topics including healthy homemade dog and cat treat recipes, enrichment toys for dogs and enrichment toys for cats.

Issue: Bored pets can be destructive and store-bought treats can contain many unhealthy ingredients that cause digestive issues. Root Cause: Many of the highest-quality treats are unaffordable. Target Audience: Five Acres and new pet owners benefit from giving pets healthy treats. Sustainability: The trifold pamphlets ensure future owners know how to care for their pets by making the treats.
