Projects

In April 2021, Girl Scouts launched their national Girl Scout Tree Prom ise program, an environmental initia tive in which Girl Scouts aim to plant five million trees in five years. To support the cause, the cities of Palo Alto and San Jose are holding their Girl Scouts Adventure Days on April 23 and 29 respectively, where Girl Scouts will participate in games and activities to learn about their traditions. The organization also hosts events like s’mores nights to demonstrate the spirit of the club, and each Girl Scout also takes part in selling merchandise and cookies to contribute. Ad ditionally, older Girl Scouts participate in projects such as the Sow What? Project in order to achieve a Gold Award, which signifies a Girl Scout’s accomplishments and impact on the world. “Girl Scouts always talk about how we need to give back to the community so we’re always trying to help out businesses in [our] area,” Girl Scout Senior Sophomore Kaylee Nishita said.
