BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – Girl Scout Troop 33590 members Ella Harris, a student at Chelsea Middle School, and Olivia Trout, Brooke Jones and Isabella Roshaven, students at Forest Oaks Elementary School, recently earned the Girl Scout Bronze Award for their project “Letterboxing”. They designed and planted a letterbox with a hornet theme in the Chelsea Public Library. The girls donated an informational children’s book about hornets that sits next to the letterbox. The clues to the ‘Girl Scout Hornet’ letterbox can be found at letterboxing.org.
The girls also planned and led a letterboxing workshop at their Girl Scout Service Unit campout. The girls helped the Brownies earn the letterboxing Brownie badge and hid two additional boxes at Kanawahala Program Center for other troops to find.
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.
