Gold Award Girl Scout Laiel F. saw a communication gap in her community and found a way to help bridge it. 💙

Through her Gold Award project, Beyond Words: Hands of Harmony, Laiel connected community members with the Deaf and Hard of Hearing (DHH) community through video interviews, presentations, and introductory American Sign Language (ASL) lessons. Participants learned greetings, common phrases, and fingerspelling, building confidence in basic ASL communication along the way.

To help her impact continue, Laiel also created an online curriculum with signs, explanations, and visuals that anyone can access and learn from. She used YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook to share her project and connect people with these resources.

During , we’re celebrating Laiel’s work to encourage greater understanding, inclusion, and connection in her community. ✨

Twenty-five years later, we pause to remember September 11, 2001.

We honor the lives lost, the survivors, the first responders, the families, and all those whose lives were forever changed by the events of that day.

As time passes, remembering becomes even more important. By listening to and sharing the stories of those who experienced September 11, we can help ensure their experiences are not forgotten and that future generations understand this moment in history and the lives it touched.

From September 15–26, Girl Scouts can visit the 9/11 Memorial & Museum at a discounted rate and receive a commemorative patch. Patches are limited and will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis. https://bit.ly/49qqKBk

At a school in Hawaii, Girl Scout Emma noticed classrooms felt stuffy and indoor air wasn’t as fresh as it could be. Wanting to make a difference, she designed and installed living wall gardens in three sixth-grade classrooms using air-purifying plants like golden pothos and Swedish ivy.🌿💚

Emma also created simple guides so students can help care for the plants and learn how they support cleaner air.

Now, those classrooms are greener, healthier, and full of hands-on learning.

It’s amazing what can grow when Girl Scouts take the lead. Via: Girl Scouts of Hawai'i

Congrats to Gold Award Girl Scout Sahithi!

During a family trip to India, her father suffered a sudden heart attack and was rushed to the ICU. The experience left Sahithi not only afraid but frustrated by a healthcare system that felt impersonal and lacked transparency, leaving families without needed support.

As her father recovered, she realized many others shared similar experiences. Determined to help, she created her Gold Award project, “Ohio Cardiac Collective,” focused on heart health education and community support.

In partnership with her non-profit, Healthy Hearts of Ohio, Sahithi led community workshops, CPR/AED training sessions, and heart health presentations in collaboration with local and global organizations.
Through these combined efforts, the project inspired over 100 middle and high schools to pursue CPR certification and reached hundreds more through digital platforms and community outreach events.

The Ohio Cardiac Collective aims to encourage communities to prioritize preventative heart health and stress management. By fostering awareness and providing practical tools, the project seeks to reduce cardiac risks among young adults and promote long-term health education.

“I aspire to a physician who listens and cares. Through my experience I learned that healing starts only when a clinician can create connection to the patient with trust and empathy. My project reflects my passion to serve community by advocating with care.”

Way to go, Sahithi!
