Congratulations, Sophia!

Gold Award Girl Scout Sophia adopted a dog from an animal shelter, and experienced what a difference her dog made in her life - and the difference she made in the life of her dog! So she knew she wanted to encourage others to adopt their family pet.

Bringing beauty, light, and joy to her local animal shelter was the primary focus of Sophia’s project. She wanted to make the shelter very visible and vibrant for viewers from afar, thus giving them a pleasant experience before they even walked through the doors. Sophia painted a large-scale mural on the property that could be seen from the street. She also incorporated artwork that included a rock garden with messages such as “adopt don’t shop” colorfully painted on the rocks. She successfully reminded people that the perfect match for a family pet does not have to come from a breeder and could be waiting for them inside!

Gold Award Girl Scouts become innovative problem-solvers, empathetic leaders, confident public speakers, and focused project managers. They learn resourcefulness, tenacity, and decision-making skills, giving them an edge personally and professionally. As they take action to transform their communities, Gold Award Girl Scouts gain tangible skills and prove they’re the leaders our world needs.

“During this project I have learned patience, leadership, and perseverance,” said Sophia when reflecting on her Gold Award project.

Thinking about Girl Scouts? Stop by our Girl Scout table tonight at National Night Out! We’d love to meet your family, answer questions, and share information about local troop opportunities. Plus, the kids can have some fun! We’ll have a Puppy Race Game where they can race their pups, test their skills, and even win prizes!

And be sure to visit Girl Scout Troop 441’s table, too! As part of their Bronze Award project, they’ll be providing FREE period pouches designed to go in school backpacks. What an awesome way for Girl Scouts to make a difference in their community!
