Girl Scout Cadette Troop 30658 has partnered with the Girl Up Foundation to raise funds and awareness to earn their Silver Award. Girl Up is a UN foundation that helps adolescent girls in developing countries receive an education to build a better life for themselves. Girls around the world face barriers to education that boys do not. Breaking barriers such as early marriage, gender-based violence, domestic slavery and sex trafficking means not only a better life for girls, but a healthier and more prosperous world for all. More than 16 million girls today are out of school. The Cadette Troop kicked off their mission by screening the movie, "Girl Rising." They also recently held a community garage sale May 4 at Our Savior's Lutheran Church in Lafayette to raise funds.
