New Local Girl Scout Cadettes Learn 'Gift of Giving Back'

Submitted by Jennifer Strohmeyer

Several of the new Cadette Girl Scouts from Troop 33077 raised money with the help of Kenny Lin, the CC Cafe manager.

As part of the journey to their Bronze Award, local Girl Scouts planned, developed and executed a "take action" project designed to increase the awareness of the impacts of non-biodegradable plastics on the ecosystem.

The girls are are Havana Wesley, Jiselle Sicilia, Molly Strohmeyer, Laura Bea, Sofia Vezzali, Skylar Thomas, Katie Fink, Adriana Medina, Mehrunisa Kam, Helen O'Neal.

The girls met to discuss ways to reduce the use of disposable plastic straws and brought further awareness by sponsoring a booth at the Lafayette Earth Day celebration. In addition the girls learned what it means to be a Girl Scout: "A Girl Scout is ready to help out wherever she is needed."

Through one Cadette's volunteering at the Walnut Creek Senior Center, they discovered a need and wanted to help. They used money they earned through fundraising to purchase and donate a new commercial coffee maker and supplies for the center. One of the most important lessons the girls learned is the "gift of giving back." Through these activities, they feel empowered to make themselves and the world a better place.
