Esha
Troop 10185

Protect Your Noggin toggle arrow

Esha worked with UNMH and ThinkFirst New Mexico to learn about concussions and partnered with them to educate the community, including her flag football team, about concussions. “The issue I addressed with my project was children getting brain injuries. I did this because parents and children who aren't aware of concussions are at even higher risk of getting them. Concussions can be caused by trauma to the head that can be caused by several things, including kids' sports.” “I learned how to talk to strangers, which helped me learn not to be as shy in public. I also learned how to explain things differently to little kids, teenagers, and adults.”

Brooklyn, Charlotte, & Emma, Troop 10607

Comanche Cares for Critters toggle arrow

Brooklyn, Charlotte, and Emma learned about the animal shelter's shortage of toys for its animals and the positive impact that play can have on the adoption rate. They sprang into action by collaborating with Comanche Elementary School to create a donation drive for old t-shirts and towels. They even made a video to share with their school to help promote the donation drive and bravely made morning announcements over the loudspeakers to encourage their classmates to join their effort. Once they gathered their supplies, they formed a club during their morning recess and hosted 10 club meetings to teach 30+ of their classmates to transform old rags into enriching pet toys.

Every Kid Deserves a Christmas toggle arrow

“Children, especially those who have been taken from their homes, deserve to have some normal experiences. They deserve to have some joy and something that makes them feel human. When we toured the Receiving Center, we were all feeling something we had never felt before. We realized that not all kids get to go home to a loving home. They still have hopes and wishes, and we couldn't stand the thought of them waking up on Christmas morning with nothing. Why does this project matter? Because these kids matter.” The Girl Scouts collected gifts and donations and picked up toy donations from other toy drives. They then wrapped ALL the gifts, filled stockings, and returned them to CYFD to distribute.

Jordan
Troop 10810

Empowering Diversity in Tennis toggle arrow

Despite the physical and mental benefits of playing tennis, it still remains an underrepresented sport among people of color. Jordan noticed this issue and decided to partner with Gold Award Girl Scout, Naomi, to educate the community about this lack of diversity and share the legacy of Arthur Ashe. For her project, she researched Arthur Ashe’s legacy and made a poster board detailing his impact in breaking racial barriers, his big tennis wins, and how he used his voice make a difference. Jordan presented her poster board to 20+ kids and adults during the inaugural Arthur Ashe Day event at Albuquerque Academy.

Addison
Troop 7080

Port Pillows and Goodie Bags for Cancer Patients toggle arrow

Addison's goal was to bring comfort and care to those undergoing chemotherapy treatments. Her project addressed several needs:

Port Pillows: She recognized that seatbelts can be painful against a patient's port. The pillows she made provide a cushion so the seatbelt does not irritate the injection port site.
Snack Baggies: The snacks were intended to help patients combat nausea and sickness, often experienced after chemotherapy. Addison researched and selected specific types of healthy snacks that are safe for cancer patients to eat.

In total, Addison made 45 pillows and assembled individual baggies of healthy snacks. She delivered the pillows and snacks to the UNMH Cancer Center.

“Cancer patients sometimes don’t get noticed. It is important that they know people are caring for them.”
