I’m Elena, a Brownie!
What I love most about being a Girl Scout is the sense of sisterhood and support we share.
In Girl Scouts, we learn new skills, make friends, and have so much fun while doing it. My advice to all my fellow Girl Scouts is: "Don't give up and just have fun!" It’s all about lifting each other up and celebrating every little success along the way.
Thank you for supporting Girl Scouts and helping us create amazing experiences together!

In Girl Scouting, we work hard to create a supportive environment that emphasizes mental wellness.
One Gold Award Project that highlights this importance is the “Blue and Green Space” at Girl Scout Camp Arnaz. This special area harnesses the healing power of nature, which is so important for reducing stress and anxiety. Also included is educational cards throughout the space to show how nature supports our mental health.
Together, we can build a culture that empowers all girls to be their best selves and prioritize their mental wellness.

The Legacy
The gold award pushed me to limits I didn’t even know I had. And above all that, it pushed me past them. I developed as a leader, coming onto my own though organizing and directing this project.
I learned how to take charge and work with others to create the vision that I had for this project. But beyond all else I learned how to be confident in who I am and what I can do, for myself and for my community.
