Kylee Szteiter, Kaylen Garza, Leah Peterson, Kate Remelius, Lexy Webb, Kylie McIntosh, Elizabeth Sanchez, Destinie Galindo, and Maya Iñiguez completed a community service project by sewing bags, filling them with craft activities, and donating them to children in the Brush County Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) advocacy program.

Completing this project taught the girls skills in fundraising, sewing, and service.

Kylie McIntosh and Leah Peterson said through earning this award, they learned “how to care for children in need and how to get involved in the community.”

The Girl Scout Bronze Award is the highest award for Girl Scout Juniors.

This award requires the girl to learn the leadership and planning skills necessary to follow through on a project that makes a positive impact on her community.

Working towards this award demonstrates her commitment to helping others, improving her community and the world, and becoming the best she can be.
