Daisy Girl Scouts from Troop 7346 in Twin Lakes recently learned what it takes to Make the World A Better Place, and did some amazing things to earn their badge. They took on the challenge of doing five things each, over a two-week time period. So, together these girls did 90 things. The girls did a variety of tasks, from starting gardens to help the environment, to donating toys to children in need. Some helped the sick and elderly, recycled, did a better job of sharing, opened the door for someone, etc. In the photo above, the girls displayed a poster that they created showing themselves with one of the things they did to make a difference. The girls want to ask the community to do the same, take a moment to reflect on some things you can do to make the world a better place and do them. Ask yourself, have I done anything good in the world today.
A couple comments from a discussion of the project:
- Troop Leader Kelly James-Piccolo: “ Simple things can have an amazing impact, even if it is just a smile.”
- Teegan Glaves: “I learned that it is easy to help the environment, animals and people.”
- Mia Piccolo: “I went through my room and found some toys that I could give to people in need, that made me feel good.”
- Arlina Ostrander: “ I started two garden kits.”
- Lorelai Smith: “I didn’t litter, I used a garbage can.”
