Scottsboro Girl Scouts Earn Girl Scout Bronze Award

Troop 160
Troop 160 members Nicole, Tristian, Gabbie, Marissa, Julia, Chloe, students at Scottsboro Junior High School, and Charlsi, student at Collins Intermediate School, recently earned the Girl Scout Bronze Award for their project Facing and Overcoming Adversity. The girls learned about adversity and how their words affect others people. To share what they learned, they performed a play and made a quilt to tell the story of Girl Scouts founder Juliette Gordon Low, which they will display in public periodically.

Amelia and Brianna, fifth graders at Collins Intermediate School and members of Girl Scout Troop 10915, recently earned the Girl Scout Bronze Award for their project Colors of Love Coloring Book. The girls made a coloring book for child victims of abuse. The girls enjoyed helping others in need and providing a fun activity for these children.

The Girl Scout Bronze Award is the highest award a Girl Scout Junior (fourth and fifth grades) can earn. This award recognizes that a Girl Scout Junior has gained the leadership and planning skills required to follow through with a project that makes a positive difference in her community.
